Experience Japan's longest straight road, a 29.2 km stretch located on National Route 12 between Bibai and Takikawa in Hokkaido. Originally built in the Meiji era, this unique road offers a glimpse into the region's pioneering past. While some find the drive underwhelming due to surrounding houses and utility poles, cyclists appreciate the uninterrupted path, especially with a tailwind. Look for the monument marking the starting point in Bibai. Be mindful of speed limits and potential crosswinds. The best time to visit is during daylight hours for optimal visibility.
