Route description
National Route 465 connects the cities of Mobara and Futtsu, spanning Chiba Prefecture's Bōsō Peninsula in an east–west routing. The highway has a total length of 111.0 kilometers (69.0 mi), though the first 25.0 kilometers (15.5 mi) of the highway that runs concurrently with National Route 128, is not signed as National Route 465. The highway's eastern terminus lies at a junction with National Route 409 in Mobara, where it begins its concurrency with National Route 128. The two highways pass through the municipalities of Chōsei and Ichinomiya heading south towards the city of Isumi along the eastern coast of the peninsula.
In Isumi the highways diverge, with National Route 128 continuing south along the coast towards the southern tip of the peninsula and National Route 465 heading west towards its interior, paralleling the Isumi Line. Crossing into the mountainous town of Ōtaki, the highway meets National Route 297 just to the west of the town's central district. The two highways share a brief concurrency running south through the relatively dense area, after which National Route 465 continues west, paralleling the Isumi Line to the railway's terminus at Kazusa-Nakano Station.
