They mark the range of movement:

• から = from
• まで = to / until / as far as

So:

• 出発地点から = from the departure point / starting point
• 休憩地点まで = to the rest point / rest stop

Together, A から B まで means from A to B.

Because Japanese usually puts the verb at the end of the sentence.

So the structure is:

• starting point + から
• end point + まで
• verb

In this sentence, 歩く means to walk, so the whole sentence is literally something like:

From the departure point to the rest point, walk.

Depending on context, it could also mean:

• (I/you/we/they) walk from the departure point to the rest point
• Walk from the departure point to the rest point

Japanese often leaves that kind of detail to context.

Japanese very often omits the subject when it is obvious from context.

So instead of saying:

• I walk from the departure point to the rest point
• We walk from the departure point to the rest point
• You should walk from the departure point to the rest point

Japanese can simply say:

• 出発地点から休憩地点まで歩く。

Who is doing the walking depends on the situation.

歩く is the plain form, often called the dictionary form.

It can be used in several ways:

• as a neutral plain statement
• in written instructions or captions
• when listing actions
• in casual style

If you wanted a polite sentence, you would say:

• 出発地点から休憩地点まで歩きます。

Both are grammatical. The difference is mainly tone and style:

• 歩く = plain
• 歩きます = polite

Good question. They are similar, but not identical.

• に / へ mark a destination
• まで marks the limit or endpoint, with a stronger sense of as far as

Compare:

• 休憩地点に歩く → unnatural with 歩く
• 休憩地点へ歩く → walk toward the rest point
• 休憩地点まで歩く → walk as far as the rest point

With movement over a route, まで works very naturally here because it emphasizes the endpoint of the walking.

Because the sentence is focusing on the movement from one point to another, not directly marking a route as an object.

Japanese can use を with movement verbs to mark the place one passes through:

• 道を歩く = walk along the road
• 橋を渡る = cross the bridge

But here, the important information is:

• where the movement starts: 出発地点から
• where it ends: 休憩地点まで

So を is not needed.

They are compound nouns:

• 出発 = departure
• 地点 = point, location
• 出発地点 = departure point / starting point

And:

• 休憩 = rest, break
• 地点 = point, location
• 休憩地点 = rest point / break point / rest stop

So these are fairly formal or map-like expressions. In everyday speech, people might sometimes use simpler words depending on context.

The reading is:

• 出発地点 = しゅっぱつちてん
• から = から
• 休憩地点 = きゅうけいちてん
• まで = まで
• 歩く = あるく

So the full sentence is read:

しゅっぱつちてん から きゅうけいちてん まで あるく。

Yes, it can be, especially in contexts like:

• route instructions
• hiking directions
• captions
• notes
• guide materials

That said, it feels a little compact and matter-of-fact. In ordinary conversation, you might more often hear something like:

• 出発地点から休憩地点まで歩きます。
• 出発地点から休憩地点まで歩いて行きます。

But the original sentence is still perfectly understandable and natural in the right context.

Normally, Japanese is written without spaces.

So the usual writing would be:

出発地点から休憩地点まで歩く。

Spaces are often added in textbooks or learning materials to make the sentence structure easier to see. They help learners notice:

• noun + particle
• noun + particle
• verb

But in normal Japanese writing, those spaces are usually not there.

Yes. から…まで is very common and can mark many kinds of ranges, not just locations.

For example:

• 9時から5時まで = from 9 to 5
• 月曜日から金曜日まで = from Monday to Friday
• 東京から大阪まで = from Tokyo to Osaka

In your sentence, it is used with places:

• 出発地点から休憩地点まで = from the starting point to the rest point

So this is a very useful pattern to learn.

Yes. That is exactly the nuance まで helps create.

休憩地点まで歩く means walk as far as the rest point or walk all the way to the rest point.

It emphasizes the endpoint of the walking. So it is not just moving in that general direction; it suggests reaching that point.
