53 Stations of the Tokaido Road
Shizuoka Prefecture
Tokaido has been a main artery of Japan since the olden days. In the Edo period, Tokaido linked Edo, the center of political power under the Shogunate, and Kyoto, the formal capital. Pictures of ‘‘the 53 Stations of the Tokaido’’ drawn by Utagaw Hiroshige describe scenes of each post town along the ancient Tokaido. 22 of these, almost half of them, are preserved in Shizuoka.
Since the start of operation of Tokaido Shinkansen (bullet train)between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka in 1964, Tokaido has played more important role in Japan’s travel and transportation.
