Rest areas along old travel route in Japan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 69 Stations of the Nakasendō (中山道六十九次, Nakasendō Rokujūkyū-tsugi) are the rest areas along the Nakasendō, which ran from Nihonbashi in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Sanjō Ōhashi in Kyoto.[1][2] The route stretched approximately 534 km (332 mi) and was an alternate trade route to the Tōkaidō.[1]
