Nagasaki Kaidō


The Nagasaki Kaidō (長崎街道?) was a road across Kyūshū from Kokura to Nagasaki, used by daimyo for the sankin kotai, and also by the chief of the Dutch trading post at Nagasaki on whom a similar obligation of visiting the Shogun was imposed. The route stretched 228 km and took travelers approximately one week.

The Nagasaki Kaidō's 25 post stations, as listed in 1705, are listed below with their modern-day municipalities indicated beside them. Travelers visiting Naruse-shuku and Shiota-shuku would avoid Kitagata-shuku and Tsukasaki-shuku.
