100 Selected Historical Roads歴史の道百選
About this collection
The "100 Selected Historical Roads" are the most outstanding historical roads—such as highways and canals—across Japan. The project aims to deepen public interest and understanding of historical roads and regional cultural assets. Based on surveys, maintenance, and utilization projects conducted nationwide with the cooperation of prefectural boards of education since 1978 (Showa 53), the Agency for Cultural Affairs held a selection committee in November 1996 (Heisei 8) to conduct the first selection. This initial selection chose 78 highways and canals mainly used until the Meiji era. Further selections of excellent historical roads are planned. Selection criteria generally require that the roads remain in good condition over a certain section and have continuity with other regions. Single or isolated transportation relics and currently paved roads are excluded under certain conditions. Additionally, roads related to faith are only eligible if they belong to a broad faith area.
