History

Nankaidō was one of the main circuits of the Gokishichidō system. It was first established during the Asuka period. Over centuries, the government functions of the Gokishichido became less important. However, the traditional eight regions, including Nankaidō, remained cultural markers.

The Nankaidō road connected the capitals of the provinces in this region.^[2]

Geography

Nankaidō has parts of six ancient provinces^[3] and one island,^[2] including:

Some geological features, such as the undersea Nankai Trough, have been named for the region.^[4]
