Nihonbashi
日本橋
Nihonbashi, Tokyo · 東京
A 1911 stone bridge on the site of the wooden original, from which all distances in the country are still measured. An expressway was built directly over it in 1963.
Why it’s worth it
The marker is set into the middle of the roadway. The overhead motorway is being removed and buried — see it while the argument is still visible.
