The north "N" monument is shining. The roadside belt is wide, so you can park your car and stop by. I could see Rishirifuji because the weather was good, but I couldn't stay long because there was no toilet or vending machine.

At first glance, I didn't know what it was.

A monument showing 45 degrees, which is half of 90 degrees north latitude. It was built on the side of the road and I didn't know what the monument was, but later I learned that it was a monument of 45 degrees north latitude. I can see the information boards that say this here here and there, but when I see the real thing, what? This? To be honest, I thought.
