Japan’s Tokaidō Road was the main walking trail between Kyoto and Edo (now Tokyo) back in the 1600s. Obsidians members, Ane McKee and Hally McCabe, visited Japan last May and walked a portion of this historic trail, following in the footsteps of great emperors and powerful shoguns who shaped Japan, samurai warriors, merchants, and travelers who were given permission to leave their villages. They will share some of the history of this iconic road, talk about the regional specialties or famous items (meibutsu) of the post-towns along the trail, and give some suggestions on how you can travel in Japan and experience the more rural parts of this beautiful country. |
