Kilometer Zero of Tokyo : Nihonbashi

Every city has a starting point from which all distances are measured. O always wondered where that point is in Tokyo? 

Located in the heart of the capital, Nihonbashi serves as the site of Japan’s "Kilometer Zero". But that is not the interesting fact. It was established in 1604 by none other than Tokugawa Ieyasu himself, as the starting point for the nation’s five major roads of that era. This location remains the benchmark for Japan’s road network to this day!!. So the Kilometer Zero of Tokyo is de-facto connecting the rich history of the Edo period with the modern-day landscape of Tokyo.
