They survived Japan's most dangerous road, Route 425, which is notorious for landslides, narrow passages, and sheer drops. The journey also included a perilous log rafting experience and crossing a rickety suspension bridge.

  • ⛰️ The road is nicknamed 'Shini-go' (death road) because 425 sounds like 'death to go' in Japanese.
  • 🛶 The log rafting involved navigating rapids on a traditional wooden raft, requiring passengers to stand up.
  • 🌉 A suspension bridge, marked for one person maximum, was crossed with extreme caution due to its precarious state.
  • ♨️ The trip also featured digging a personal hot spring (onsen) in a river and visiting Japan's largest cemetery.
  • 🐱 The journey concluded at Kishi Station, famous for its cat stationmasters.

Two men stand on a narrow, winding mountain road with steep cliffs and a car. One man holds a large branch, and the other is in the driver's seat of the car.
