Road-Origin Marker

Road-origin markers indicate the origin of or passing points on the road. In 1873, the national government ordered each prefectural government to place origin markers on major roads. The origin of measurement in Ishikawa Prefecture was set at an intersection in Hashiba-cho in Kanazawa City, from which the distance to municipalities in Ishikawa was measured. The road-origin marker in Nonoichi Villages was at the point where the local government office was located in 1920.
