Image of STATUES OF KIRIN

Nihonbashi, the starting point of Japan’s national routes. Someday, if the expressway running above it is removed, I think the kirin statues will look even more impressive. The “Nihonbashi” lettering on the bridge is also a highlight—it is said to have been written by Yoshinobu Tokugawa, the last shogun. Since history is still engraved here, take your time and cross while looking around at all the details.
