Driving in Japan: Route 42, 43, 46 & E42 Expressway from Shingu to Nachi Falls / 新宮 - 那智 E42 紀勢

In this video you can ride along on Routes 42, E42 Kisei Expressway, 43 & 46 from Shingu to Nachi Falls in Japan's Wakayama region. A large part of this mountainous region is home to the Yoshino Kumano National Park.

We start the drive in Shingu, a small coastal city with less than 30.000 inhabitants. From here Route 42 flows over into the E42 Expressway South. The E42 is still incomplete and should ultimately connect to Esumi, from where the E42 continues to Wakayama and beyond. North of Shingu there is also a segment of E42 missing, between Kumano and Shingu.

After taking the exit at Nachisan, we drive into the mountains towards Nachi Falls, Japan's highest single drop waterfall (133 meters). Nearby you'll find a beautiful Shinto Shrine (Kumano-Nachi Taisha), part of the Kumano Kodo UNESCO World Heritage Site.
