Kaido: The Ancient Highways and Roads of Japan
日本の街道

Japan developed a nationwide network of roads and highways already in the 7th century to carry things on foot, horseback, and wheeled traffic and to transport goods between towns and villages. The major roads, called kaido, started from the capital in Kyoto (then known as 平安京 Heiankyo).

There were seven major roads. The most important ones ones were the westbound route from Kyoto, the Sanyodo, and the eastbound route to Edo, the Tokaido. These historical names have been preserved in the names of major railway lines and modern highways.

In due time lodgings for travelers along these highways grew into towns which served their local specialities and sold souveniers.
Some routes with easier access, avoiding steep passes through the mountains, came into being, as travelling and pilgrimages became more popular. But the construction of bridges and operation of ferries across some rivers were prohibited for reasons of military defense, and travelers were carried over on the shoulders of porters or in palanquins.
During heavy rainfall, crossing these rivers was too dangerous and travellers had to stay in lodgings, enjoying the "rice serving girls", or all kinds of gambling.

Kaido Walking ”街道ウオーキング”
Some roads were famous for transporting food or salt to Kyoto and other cities.

The old kaido roads enjoy a revival these days, with people walking them again, taking photos and exchanging information in many BLOGS.

Tōkaidōchū Hizakurige 東海道中膝栗毛
Shank's Mare
a picaresque comic novel (kokkei-bon) written by Jippensha Ikku (十返舎一九, 1765–1831), about the misadventures of two travelers on the Tōkaidō, the main road between Kyoto and Edo during the Edo Period. The book was published in twelve parts between 1802 and 1822.
The two main characters, traveling from Edo to Kyoto on their pilgrimage to the Ise Shrine, are called Yajirobē (彌次郎兵衛) and Kitahachi (喜多八).

Yaji and Kita's travels
As they make their way, they leave behind a trail of crude jokes and plentiful puns.

The Tokaido—Scenes from Edo to Meiji Eras
Jilly Traganou

Post-stations (shukuba) offering lodging and other facilities were established along the roads at equal distances. Middle stages and tea houses between post-stations facilitated shorter journeys. Travellers were controlled at checkpoints (sekisho) usually positioned at natural barriers on the roads (such as Hakone and Arai). The road infrastructure included bridges, river crossings, markers at every ri (3927 m) and road maintenance, as well as paving and roadside trees. Travelling was confined to foot for commoners and to horses (which had to be changed at each post station) or palanquins for high-status travellers. There were ferry services at water crossings (Ise Bay, Lake Hamana), but travellers had to hire porters at large rivers like Oi and Abe.
The trip from Edo to Kyoto took about 12 days at an average speed of 25 miles a day.

The twenty-third of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. It is located in what is now part of Shimada, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Shimada-juku was located on the left bank (Edo side) of the Ōi River, just across from its neighboring post town, Kanaya-juku. The Tokugawa shogunate expressly forbit the construction of any bridge or ferry service over the Ōi River, forcing travellers to wade across its shallows. However, whenever the river flooded due to strong or long rains, it made passing nearly impossible. During period of long rains, visitors were sometimes forced to stay at Shimada-juku for several days, increasing the amount of money they spent.

Hakone Hachiri 箱根八里
A common saying about Shimada-juku was

"You can travel the 8 Ri to Hakone, but to cross it,
you must cross the uncrossable Ōi River"

箱根八里は馬でも越すが　越すに越されぬ大井川
Hakone hachiri wa uma demo kosu ga
kosu ni kosarenu Ōigawa.

The classic ukiyoe print by Ando Hiroshige from 1831-1834 depicts travellers crossing the shallows and sand banks of the Ōi River. Some are on foot, some are carried by porters and others are riding in kago.

1 ri 里 is about 4 km.

Kanaya-juku 金谷宿

Station Nr. 24 of the
. Tookaidoo 東海道 53 stations of the Tokaido Road .

quote
the twenty-fourth of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. It is located in what is now part of Shimada, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. During the Edo period, it was the easternmost post station of Tōtōmi Province.

Kanaya-juku was built up on the right bank of the Ōi River across from Shimada-juku. There were over 1,000 buildings in the post town, including three honjin, one sub-honjin and 51 hatago. Travelers had an easy travel to Nissaka-shuku, which was about 6.5 km (4.0 mi) away. However, whenever the river's banks overflowed, travelers were not able to pass through Kanaya and on to Shimada-juku, as the Tokugawa shogunate had expressly forbidden the construction of any bridge on the Ōi River.

The classic ukiyoe print by Ando Hiroshige (Hoeido edition) from 1831–1834 depicts a daimyo procession on sankin kotai crossing the river. The daimyo is riding in a kago, held about the water by a makeshift platform carried by numerous porters. His retainers are attempting to wade across the river. In the background, a small village is shown in the foothills.

The Ooigawa (大井川, Ōi-gawa) Oi River, Ohigawa
is a river in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

The Ōi River flows from the Akaishi Mountains, the branch of the Japanese Southern Alps which form the border between Shizuoka, Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures.

The Ōi River is mentioned in Nara period records as forming the border between Tōtōmi and Suruga Provinces. However, due to shifting of the course of the river over the centuries, by the late Muromachi period, this was not always the case.

During the Edo period, the Tōkaidō developed as the major highway linking Edo with Kyoto, and daimyo from the western domains were forced to travel on a regular basis to Edo to attend to the Shogun in a system known as sankin kōtai. However, the Tokugawa shogunate prohibited the building of bridges over major rivers as a security measure, and in the case of the Ōi River, even ferryboats were forbidden.

As depicted in contemporary ukiyoe prints by artists such as Hokusai, travelers crossed the river on bearers' shoulders or on horseback. In cases of bad weather or high waters, they were forced to stay several days (or even several weeks) beside the river at post stations such as Shimada-juku or Kanaya-juku.

Because of this, the Ōi River was regarded as a black spot of the Tōkaidō. A well-known lyric states:

箱根八里は馬でも越すが
越すに越されぬ大井川

Hakone hachiri wa uma demo kosu ga,
kosu ni kosarenu Ōigawa

Even horses can cross eight ri (=31 km) of Hakone,
but the Ōi River is hard to get over in any way.

It is possible to cross over the mountains of Hakone on horseback.
But it is impossible to cross the Oi River swollen by heavy rain.

The river was bridged shortly after the Meiji Restoration, notably by the Hōrai Bridge in 1879 (which was listed as the world’s longest wooden pedestrian bridge by the Guinness Book, and by other road and railroad bridges. Today the Tōkaidō Shinkansen express train crosses the river in a few seconds.
The Ōigawa Railway runs two lines in the Ōi River valley.

umakata 馬方 was the owner of the horse
or a servant in charge.
They would lead the horse by a leash, guiding the traveler from one station to the next along the Tokaido. An average day tour would cover 25 kilometers.
Each Shukuba had its own horse stable and porter stations.
High-ranking travelers could rent a palanquin.
Umakata also lead pack horses.
One of their jobs was to make sure the heavy load would not cause wounds to the back of the horse, since the saddles were made of wood.

Ando Hiroshige

Later umakata could be driving carriages, especially in the cities.
