*The Tokaido (literally, the Eastern Sea Road) was the main feudal road in Japan that ran mainly along the coast for five hundred kilometers between Kyoto, where the Emperor resided and the capital, Edo (Tokyo), where the Shogun lived. Over time the fiffty-three stations became post-towns which supplied horses, porter stations, lodgings and food for travellers.
