西国街道芥川一里塚, Historic distance marker in Takatsuki, Japan.

The Akutagawa Ichirizuka stands along the Seigoku Kaido road, featuring earthen mounds that served as distance markers during the Edo period.

Built in 1604 under Tokugawa Ieyasu's orders, this milestone marked one ri (approximately 4 kilometers) intervals for travelers between Kyoto and Nishinomiya.

The marker originally featured elm trees planted on its mounds, reflecting the traditional Japanese practice of using natural elements for navigation purposes.

Located in present-day Akutagawa-cho 3-chome, the site connects to walking paths that allow visitors to explore the historical route.

The Akutagawa Ichirizuka represents one of the few remaining distance markers from the Edo period transportation network in the Osaka region.
