名神起工の地

The memorial marks the starting point of the construction of Meishin Expressway, connecting Tokyo and Nagoya through Kyoto and Osaka in central Japan.

The memorial stone was placed in 1957 to commemorate the beginning of Japan's first national expressway project, signaling the country's post-war infrastructure development.

The memorial represents Japanese engineering progress and determination to modernize transportation networks during the economic growth period of the 1950s.

Visitors can find the memorial stone near the Yamashina district of Kyoto, at the eastern end of the original Meishin Expressway construction site.

The stone inscription includes specific details about the groundbreaking ceremony and names of officials who initiated this transformative infrastructure project.
