History

[edit]

National Route 5 traces its origin to the Sapporo Hondō [ja], a road designed by Horace Capron, in 1872. Capron was an American advisor to the Hokkaido Development Commission who was paid to assist in the development of Sapporo as a planned city. The Sapporo Hondō connected Sapporo to Hakodate at the southern end of the Hokkaido where sea connections to the main island of Japan, Honshu, were located. The Sapporo Hondō was completed in 1877.[2]

On 4 December 1952, the Cabinet of Japan designated the Sapporo Hondō as First Class National Highway 5.[3] On 1 April 1965, it was reclassified as National Route 5.[4]
