The Tokaido was one of Japan’s major highways developed during the Edo period. Along the route from Tokyo to Kyoto were 53 post towns known as the “53 Stations of the Tokaido.” Shinagawa-shuku was the first post town after Nihonbashi, the starting point of the route. Stretching roughly 1.2 miles, this bustling post town attracted many travelers.
Today, its many shops still preserve the atmosphere of the former post town. The area is also home to numerous historic sites, temples, and shrines.
