	Seven Roads: Seven Roads of Japan
		After the Reformation of the Taika Era (645) and the establishment of an elaborate central government system with administrative and judicial institutions modeled after the Tang Dynasty in China, a road network covering all of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu was established.
		This public road network system on a nationwide scale is the system of Seven Roads, and it included the famous Tokaido, Tosando, Hokurikudo, San-indo, San-yodo, Nankaido, and Saikaido.
		They were built by adapting to and overcoming the restrictions of Japan's complex topography, and became the prototype of highways and roads in later periods.
