Chōda no Retsu
A very long line waiting for something can be described as chōda no retsu (長蛇の列) in Japanese.
Since chō (長) means "long," da (蛇) means "scake," and retsu (列) means "line/queue," the literal meaning of chōda no retsu is "long snake's line."
This term was coined from the fact that a very long line looks like a big and long snake.
For example, you can say mōsho no tame, aisu-ya ni chōda no retsu ga dekita (猛暑のためアイス屋に長蛇の列ができた - "Due to the extremely hot day, many people lined up in front of the ice cream shop.").

長蛇の列
とても長々と続く行列のことを、「長蛇の列」といいます。
「長」は "long"、「蛇」は "snake"、「列」は "rowa" を意味するので、「長蛇の列」の文字どおりの意味は "long snake's line" となります。
長々と続く行列は、まるで大きくて長い蛇のようであることから、この表現が生まれました。
例えば、「猛暑のため、アイス屋に長蛇の列ができた」のように使うことができます。
