Okay kiddo, there's a place in Japan called Sukagawa Ichirizuka that we're going to learn about.
Have you ever seen a mountain or a hill? Well, Sukagawa Ichirizuka is kind of like a small hill that was made a long time ago. It's not very big, but it's special because it was made to help people who were traveling a long time ago.
Back in the old days, people didn't have cars or airplanes like we have now. They had to travel by foot or on horseback, which meant it could take a really long time to get from one place to another. Can you imagine walking all the way from one town to another? That would be really tiring!
So, the people who made Sukagawa Ichirizuka came up with a clever idea. They decided to build these little hills along the road to help travelers know how far they had gone and how far they still had to go.
Think of it like a game, where you have to walk a certain distance and every time you get to one of these little hills, you know you're making progress. It was a really good idea and it helped a lot of people back then.
Today, Sukagawa Ichirizuka is still there and you can visit it if you're ever in Japan. It's a neat reminder of how things used to be and how people found ways to make life a little bit easier for themselves and for others.
