Chuo-dori changes in seven
"Shichihenge" means "a stage format or performance in which one actor performs seven roles."
So, looking at Chuo-dori from the viewpoint of national roads, it has changed rapidly, even if it does not change seven times.
The starting point of Chuo-dori is the Shimbashi intersection where Daiichi Keihin and Showa-dori intersect, and from Minato-ku, Tokyo via Chuo-ku.
It is the common name of the road leading to Taito Ward (the common name of the Tokyo Metropolitan Road).
Follow the Tokaido and head southwest from Nihonbashi, where the Japanese road mark, which is the starting point of the Japanese road, is located.
The section from the Japan Road Signpost to Shimbashi, Minato-ku is Tokaido. There was an image of Tokaido = National Route 1.
National Route 1 is to Nihonbashi Intersection (Eitai-dori St.). (This section is the part where National Route 1 and National Route 20 overlap.)
From here, the southwest direction is National Route 15.
Kyobashi is 1 km away from Nihonbashi. Ginza Street is familiar from Ginza 1-chome to Ginza 8-chome across Kyobashi.
The photo is blurred, but it is marked as "Ginza Doriguchi" beside the traffic light.
This is near Ginza 6-chome.
Ginza 8-chome is near the highway elevated road that can be seen over there.
The place where you can see the picture is Ginza Street
In the past, Toden passes here, and granite used in orbit along with the abandoned line is reused on the sidewalk.
On the other hand, if you go north from Nihonbashi, it seems that it overlaps with National Route 4 and National Route 17 to Muromachi 3-chome intersection.
To the north of Muromachi 3-chome intersection in the photo, National Route 17
Constructing roads
Shimbashi-Nihonbashi Intersection Route 15 at the starting point
Nihonbashi Intersection - Nihonbashi National Route 1 (duplicate with National Route 20)
Nihonbashi-Muromachi 3-chome Intersection National Route 4 (duplicating with National Route 17 and National Route 6)
Muromachi 3-chome intersection National Route 17
By the way, the original Japanese road mark, which is the starting point of the road, is located in the red circle in the photo.
The replica is in the square of the original mark.
Looking at the medal that duplicates the original Japanese road mark, this letter was written by then Prime Minister Eisaku Sato.
The cross in the center is the right starting point.
