National Route 138 at a junction with National Route 413 on the southern shore of Lake Yamanaka

The highway connects Odawara in the western side of Kanagawa Prefecture to Fujiyoshida, a city on the northern side of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture. From its eastern terminus at National Routes 1 and 255 in Odawara, the road travels west to the eastern limit of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. The highway travels through the northern portion of the park, exiting it at its northwestern corner. Next the highway has a junction with the Tōmei Expressway in Gotemba. It then travels across the city and then enters the neighboring town, Oyama. In Oyama, the road has a junction with Higashifuji-goko Road. It then hugs the southern shore of Lake Yamanaka, the largest of the Fuji Five Lakes before crossing into Fujiyoshida where it meets its western terminus at an intersection with National Route 137.^[2]
