1. Nikkoukaidou
2. Nikkō KaidōThe Nikkō Kaidō was one of the five routes of the Edo period and it was built to connect Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with the Nikkō Tōshō-gū, which is located in the present-day city of Nikkō, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. It was established in 1617 by Tokugawa Ieyasu, in order for him to have a smoother route to the shrine. With only twenty-one stations, the Nikkō Kaidō was the shortest of the five routes, but it shares seventeen stations with the Ōshū Kaidō.
