A tour where you can experience the present and past of the Tokaido
The Tokaido is one of the Five Highways that was maintained during the Edo period. Out of the 53 post stations on the Ancient Tokaido, 22 of them are located in Shizuoka Prefecture. In the cities of Hamamatsu and Kosai, which developed along the Tokaido, many historic sites remain, allowing visitors to learn about how people lived at that time.
Starting at Hamamatsu Castle where Ieyasu spent 17 years of his life, we will visit the row of pine trees that was planted along the Tokaido since the days of Ieyasu and see sights in Maisaka-shuku (Hamamatsu city), Arai-shuku (Kosai city) and Lake Hamana with an interpreter guide.
Come and explore the long-lasting post station of the Ancient Tokaido Highway that still remains alive on the Land of Tokugawa Ieyasu - "Mr. Tokyo".
