National Route 1 (国道1号, Kokudō Ichi-gō) is a major highway on the island of Honshū in Japan. It connects Chūō, Tokyo in the Kantō region with the city of Osaka, Osaka Prefecture in the Kansai region, passing through the Chūbu region en route. It follows the old Tōkaidō westward from Tokyo to Kyoto, and the old Kyo Kaidō from there to Osaka. Between Tokyo and Aichi Prefecture it parallels the Tomei Expressway; from there to Mie Prefecture, the Higashi-Meihan Expressway, and from Shiga Prefecture to Osaka, the Meishin Expressway. It has a total length of 760.9 kilometers (472.8 mi). At its eastern terminus in Nihonbashi, Chūō, Tokyo, it meets National Routes 4, 6, 14, 15, 17, and 20. At its western terminus in Umeda, Kita-ku, Osaka, it links with Routes 2, 25, 26 and other highways.
National Route 1 links Tokyo to the important prefectural capitals of Yokohama (Kanagawa Prefecture), Shizuoka, Nagoya (Aichi Prefecture), Otsu (Shiga Prefecture), Kyoto, and Osaka.[2][3] It is the modern incarnation of the pre-modern Tōkaidō.
The main line of National Route 1 has a length of 638.4 kilometers (396.7 mi). When bypasses signed as National Route 1 are included, its total distance increases to 777.9 kilometers (483.4 mi).[4] Out of all of the national highways of Japan, it is the second longest land-based route after National Route 4,[5] though National Route 58 is the longest route when seabound routes are factored in.
The highway’s origin and eastern terminus lies at Nihonbashi in Tokyo’s Chūō ward. At Nihonbashi it meets national routes 4, 6, 14, 15, 17, and 20. The highway passes through the cities of Kawasaki, Yokohama, Odawara, Numazu, Shizuoka, Hamamatsu, Nagoya, Yokkaichi, Ōtsu, and Kyoto. Its endpoint and western terminus lies in the Umeda district of Osaka’s Kita ward. In Umeda, it has a junction with national routes 2, 26, 163, 165, 25, and 176.
