"Spring Nihonbashi Osanpo Tour" was an alumni association with friends.
After lunch, take a short walk.
Let's go to "Nihonbashi" just outside the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store.
The reaction of elementary school students is "bridge?" "Where?" "What's the river? ？」
A river runs under the highway, saying, "Oh! That's right?"
I can't see the water unless I go close.
Was it a bit difficult to understand?
What was maintained in front of Mitsukoshi was the "Place of the Original Mark"
That's right there.
This is a replica of the "Japan Road Mark".
This is the reference point for Japanese roads.
That's why it's like this
How many kilometers from here is the name of the city of Japan~.
I'd like to talk about that.
"There's so much to Sapporo!"
The elementary school students are a little excited.
And yeah. Adults are also surprised by the kanji character "Thr".
"I'll read a kilometer with this!"
A character that combines "rice" representing meters and "thousand" representing kilograms (= 1,000 times).
It's almost no longer used today, but it's almost never used.
I tried to express concepts that had never been found in Japan before.
It is a character that shows the hardships of Meiji period's predecessors.
I thought it again.
Then go to the middle of the bridge.
From a distance, you can see something of metal buried in the middle of the road.
"That!" "That's there!"
It's the "real thing" of the road marker.
When I looked up,
In the form of sticking to the highway
There is a pillar that informs the position of the road mark.
There's also a way to tell you like this.
It's a bit interesting.
Because there is a highway on top, it's a way to display it.
I was a little impressed.
