For those curious, the coordinates point to a point along National Route 417 in Gifu Prefecture. Google Maps shows that this particular patch of highway as being at an unremarkable spot in the middle of a tunnel, the Tokuyama Bypass.
The part about the buried bodies could be a reference to the fact that this sits right next to the reservoir for the Tokuyama Dam , the construction of which did involve the deliberate flooding of a village in the area. However, this obviously only occurred after everyone living there had been relocated, so this seems like a shaky connection.

Bodies, dam, village flooding, Gifu prefecture, all have my Higurashi senses tingling...

Then again, what better place to hide bodies than somewhere that's going to be flooded? Could be more to the story here...
