Old Tokaido Road(旧東海道)

SOF 2022/10/10 (Mon) – 2022/10/16 (Sun)



Walked just a little part of the Old Tokaido Road on the weekend. It was 8.4 km long from Keikyu Kamata Station to Shinagawa Station in Tokyo. The Old Tokaido Road was the main walking road between Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Edo era (1603-1868), and the whole trail was around 500 km, taking about three weeks to complete on foot. The weekend walk was only a two-hour mini-tour, but I enjoyed this historical walk and also a small public bath along the road. At Shinagawa Station, I tasted a good American craft beer. It was refreshing.
