Which is the longest route without exiting a ticket gate in Kansai private railways

My follower on Twitter began this interesting research.

My initial plan was the following route
Gakken-Nara-Tomigaoka→(Kintetsu Keihanna Line)→Nagata→(Osaka Municipal Subway Chuo Line)→Sakaisuji-Hommachi→(Osaka Municipal Subway Chuo Line)→Tenjinbashisuji-6chome→(Hankyu Senri Line)→Awaji→(Hankyu Kyoto Line)→Juso→(Hankyu Takarazuka Line)→Takarazuka→(Hankyu Imazu Line)→Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi→(Hankyu Kobe Line)→Hankyu-Sannomiya→(Kobe Kosoku Railway Tozai Line)→Kosoku-Kobe→(Kobe Kosoku Railway Tozai Line*1→(Hanshin Main Line)→Amagasaki→(Hanshin Namba Line)→Osaka-Namba→(Kintetsu Nara Line(Formal name is "Kintetsu Namba Line, Osaka Line ,and Nara Line")))→Yamato-Saidaiji→(Kintetsu Kashihara Line)→Yamato-Yagi→(Kintetsu Osaka Line and Nagoya Line)→Kintetsu-Nagoya

But, longer routes can exist.
From Nagata to Tenjinbashisuji-6chome, we can take much longer routes.
I'll show you a longer route.

I've not yet maken sure that this route on the map is the longest way. Feel free to contact me if you find a longer way than this route.

You had better not take this route really because I don't know whether this route is allowed or not.
