Japan: Travellers in a tea house at Yoshida on the Tokaido. Ukiyo-e woodblock print from the series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), c. 1830. Yoshida-juku was the thirty-fourth of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. It is located in the centre of what is now the city of Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It was 287 kilometres (178 mi) from the start of the route in Edo's Nihonbashi. The Tōkaidō (East Sea Road) was the most important of the Five Routes of the Edo period, connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto in Japan.
