Shiozu Highway
A highway stretching from Tsuruga City in Fukui Prefecture to Shiotsuhama Nishiazai-cho, Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture. The road was once used to transport marine products and salt from Tsuruga to the port of Shiotsu and played a significant role amidst the transportation network of the Kinki region. Due to its history, it is also nicknamed the “Salt Road.” Today, many remnants of this prosperous time can still be found along the road, such as stone lanterns which were kept lit throughout the night for travelers.
