Discover the Historic Tokaido!
Join us on a captivating journey along the Tokaido, one of the Five Routes of the Edo period, connecting Edo (now Tokyo) and Kyoto. Step back in time and uncover how this ancient route developed over 320 years, shaping Japan’s history and culture.

Today, the Tokaido Shinkansen whisks travelers between Tokyo and Kyoto in just about two hours. But what was the Tokaido like centuries ago? How did it influence Japan and continue to leave its mark? Let's dive into its legacy, including the fascinating Hikyaku courier system that inspired modern relay races, Ekiden.

We hope this presentation inspires you to imagine a journey along the Tokaido, bridging past and present. Don’t miss out on this captivating exploration of the Tokaido's rich history and culture!　(Aki)
