In the morning, I saw a person taking pictures of this original road sign and point monument in the center of the road, but there was a traffic and it was dangerous.
Nihonbashi is also the starting point of Asia Highway 1, which can be called the modern version of Silk Road.
The monument of the road mark and the starting sign of the Asia Highway can be seen close to the Metropolitan Expressway.
By the way, in Nihonbashi, there are Kirin and lions that represent prosperity, but there are 32 lions (= bridge (8 × 4) * There are various theories), but 28 are found immediately.
The remaining four were here when viewed from the side of Nihonbashi. (I think this is probably the rest of the lion.)
