List of the 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō
The List of the 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō (東海道五十三次, Tōkaidō Gojūsan-tsugi) covers the rest areas along the Tōkaidō, which was a coastal route that ran from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto.[1]
Stations of the Tōkaidō
There were originally 53 government waystations (shuku-eki) along the Tōkaidō. At each, all travelers were expected to present traveling permits. These were also places for resting and eating before continuing to travel.
