Geocache Description:

This cache is placed at the Ōshōjibashi Intersection.

Old Ōshōji Street was a part of Takenouchi Kaido Road and West Kōya Kaido Road. Takenouchi Kaido Road is one of the oldest national roads which were planned to build by the government in order to connect the Capital City Asuka and other cities in 613. Ōshōji Street was also designated as the border of Settsu Province and Izumi Province. This is because the city was named “Sakai” which means “border”. Today, this street connects Sakai Station and Sakaihigashi Station.
Near the cache point, there was a moat surrounding the city and a bridge crossing the moat. The moat was buried, however, a part of the bridge is left at this intersection. Some literature insist that this bridge was the origin of Takenouchi Kaido Road and West Kōya Kaido Road.

Japanese:
キャッシュは大小路橋交差点付近に隠されています。
大小路は現在、堺駅と堺東駅を結ぶ道路として整備されていますが、かつては竹内街道と西高野街道の最初の部分でした。竹内街道は613年に他の幾つかの街道と共に整備された日本最古の官道です。また、大小路は室町時代、摂津国と和泉国の国境として定められていました。このことが「堺」という都市名の由来となっています。
キャッシュポイント付近は、かつて堺の町を囲む濠と、そこに架かる橋がありました。現在は堀は埋められましたが、橋の一部が残されています。また文献によっては、この場所を竹内街道と西高野街道の起点とするものがあります。
