From what I can find it is called the 'benchmark of Japan' and was used as a datum for measuring sea level and position in Japan. The details are sketchy, but I hope to find out more about it later.
We then walked to the Imperial Palace area.
We then took a train to visit a museum, but it was closed. :( We did find a few interesting statues nearby.
I'm still trying to find out why Tokugawa Ieyasu in the picture above is riding on a turtle. I couldn't find anything about that on the Internet.
That's all for now. I hope to provide more interesting posts later. This morning we are heading to a library to do some reading.
