Ichirizuka in Tsunekuni, Nakada

The Hokuriku highway was also called the Okan by the Kaga clan. Along the Okan, mounds were constructed on both sides of it at one ri (approx. 4 km) intervals to serve as distance markers. These are called "Ichinzuka" (milestone). Each consisted of a round mound of earth with a nettle tree planted at its center.
