About this place
The Nakasendo is one of the Five Routes developed in the Edo period, a highway connecting Edo's Nihonbashi and Kyoto's Sanjo Ohashi by an inland route. In contrast to the Tokaido, which goes south along the Pacific coast, the Nakasendo connects Edo and Kyoto by a northern, inland route. West of Kusatsu-Oiwake it shares the road with the Tokaido. From Edo to Kusatsu it is 129 ri 10 cho or so (about 507.7 km), and 69 post stations were established. From Edo to Kyoto it is 135 ri 34 cho or so (about 526.3 km).
