Everything about Nikk Kaid totally explained
The 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. Part of its route can be traced with Japan's
Route 4.
