The Tōkaidō (東海道, East Sea Road) was a major road in ancient Japan. It was one of five main roads during the Edo period. The route connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and Kyoto along the sea coast of eastern Honshū.[1]
Traveling the Tōkaidō
There were fifty-three shogunate-maintained waystations (shuku-eki) along the road which connected Edo and Kyoto.[1]
The typical method of travel was by foot.
