100 Selected Roads of Japan日本の道百選
About this collection
The 100 Selected Roads of Japan were chosen by the Ministry of Construction between 1986 and 1987. The selection criteria were based on historical significance and familiarity (53 roads), as well as scenic beauty and mobility (51 roads). The selected roads received commendations from the Minister of Construction and were awarded commemorative plaques. Among the roads selected, there are national highways with great views, steep and winding mountain roads, tree-lined avenues, and more, resulting in a diverse selection.
For tourism purposes, it is recommended to visit roads suitable for driving or touring. However, some roads have undergone significant changes, so it is important to check the latest information. Popular locations include Jozenji-dori, a tree-lined avenue symbolizing Sendai; Bukeyashiki-dori, a famous cherry blossom spot representing Akita Prefecture; and Bandai-Azuma Road, a genuine mountain sightseeing road located in Fukushima Prefecture.
This is a very unique selection focused on roads, but it is also very useful as a travel guide. However, some roads may appear to be ordinary national highways extending endlessly (important traffic routes), so if you are visiting for sightseeing, it is advisable to acquire some prior knowledge about the road before your visit.
Translated from the Japanese edition. Original Japanese names are included to help identify entries. Names, addresses and selection details may reflect the original publication.
