Tōkaidō, Historic route between Edo and Kyoto, Japan
The Tōkaidō road stretches for 514 kilometers along the eastern sea coast of Honshu, connecting the cities of Tokyo and Kyoto.
The Tokugawa shogunate established this route in 1603, requiring daimyos to make annual trips to Edo as part of their administrative duties.
The 53 stations along the Tōkaidō inspired numerous artworks, including Hiroshige's series depicting each post station in detailed woodblock prints.
Modern transportation infrastructure, including the Shinkansen bullet train and expressways, follows the path of the original Tōkaidō route.
The road featured designated rest stations spaced one day's walking distance apart, where travelers could find lodging, food, and horse exchanges.
