Two stone markers indicate the endpoints of the Kisoji. One, located between Motoyama-juku and Niekawa-juku, states, "From here south: Kisoji" (是より南 木曽路 Kore yori minami, Kisoji). The other, situated between Magome-juku and Ochiai-juku, reads, "From here north: Kisoji" (是より北 木曽路 Kore yori kita, Kisoji).
