@mujirushiryohin "which page do we start" does not make sense. You cannot "start" a page as if it were an engine or something. So "which page do we start on?" is correct.

@mujirushiryohin
"to start (something)" --> [何か]を始める
So if you say "We start page 1", in Japanese it translates to 第1ページを始める。It doesn't make sense.
That's why we say "we start ON page 1". It translates to 第1ページに始める。
So when you transform it into a question, it becomes "which page do we start on?". In Japanese, it translates to どのページに始めますか？
