La fameuse route de Nakasendo qu'on empruntait pour relier Edo(Tokyo) à Kyoto.

he Nakasendo is about 533 km (around 330 miles) long. In the past it would take travelers 18 to 20 days to walk the full length of the road, and there were 67 stages along the way. Another of the Gokaido, the Tokaido, also linked Edo and Kyoto. This demonstrates how important these two great cities were.

Whereas the Tokaido passes through coastal regions with a mild climate, the Nakasendo goes between mountain ranges. Processions of feudal lords were a common sight on the Tokaido, and at times it was crowded. Consequently, many ordinary travelers normally preferred to use the Nakasendo. In addition, despite the difficult mountain passes, women travelers tended to prefer the Nakasendo because it wasn't necessary to cross rivers.
