Why don't you touch the charm of Yokohama's Old Tokaido?

In Keicho 5 (1600), Ieyasu Tokugawa, who won the battle of Sekigahara, developed new policies one after another.
Highway maintenance was also promoted as part of this, and in 1601 Keicho 6 (1601) the Tokaido horse riding system was established.
At that time, there were 37 post stations between Edo and Kyoto, and there were two inns in Yokohama, Kanagawa-juku and Hodogaya-juku.
Tozuka-juku was added in Keicho 9 (1604), and there were three post stations in Yokohama.
In Kanei Gen (1624), 53 post stations were established between Edo and Kyoto, and became the 53rd Tokaido.
The Tokaido was crowded with daimyo who took part in shifts, officials of the Shogunate, merchants and travelers visiting shrines and temples such as Ise Grand Shrine.
Travelers are eating specialty dishes, buying souvenirs, and making some detours to enjoy a sightseeing mountain.
The pleasure of traveling has not changed, even now and in the past.
The current Tokaido has changed its shape to National Highway No. 1 and still plays a role as Japan's aorta today.
Along the old Tokaido, there are still buildings, shrines and temples that still retain the impression of the post town.
Why don't you walk along the old Tokaido while keeping the thoughts of the Edo period?

In Yokohama City, we created "Yokohama Old Tokaido Michi Walk Sugoroku" so that children can enjoy learning about the old Tokaido of Yokohama happily.
