Overview

Road★★★

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

Guardrails

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.
