National Route 32
National Route 32 is an interurban trunk road that crosses the central-eastern part of Shikoku diagonally from the Nakashinmachi intersection in Takamatsu City to the Prefectural Office intersection in Kochi City, and is the smallest numbered of the general national highways through Kochi Prefecture.
It has a total length of approximately 141 km and an actual length of approximately 137 km. The 3.8 km section between the Nakashinmachi intersection, the starting point in Takamatsu City, and the Mineyamaguchi intersection, a branch of National Route 11, overlaps the road with National Route 11. The entire route is designated as a designated section to be maintained and managed by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The main places passed from the starting point in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture are Ayagawa Town, Ayaka Town, Marugame City, Manno Town, Nakatado-gun, Takarada Town, Mitoyo City, Miyoshi City, Tokushima Prefecture, Otoyo Town, Nagaoka County, Kochi Prefecture, Shigeto, Tosayamada Town, Kami City, and Nankoku City. Although both ends of the route run through flat land, it passes through steep terrain in the Shikoku Mountains, and is one of the most difficult routes to drive as a former first-class national highway.
