Oharaguchi Gateway's 22-Way Guidepost

A granite guidepost at the crossing of Imadegawa-dori and Teramachi-dori, said to have been raised by local residents in 1868. Its four faces are cut with twenty-two destinations and their distances, preserving the memory of 'Oharaguchi' - the gateway on the road toward Ohara and Wakasa.
