Overview

  • If the guardrails are the color of natsumikan oranges, you’re likely in Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Representative Companies ▾ 詳細

During the 1963 Yamaguchi National Sports Festival, the prefecture colored its guardrails after its specialty fruit, the natsumikan, as a regional promotion. The tradition stuck, so the guardrails remain natsumikan orange today(References Steel Bridge Association of Japan).
