were roads in Japan dating from the Edo period. They act important roles in transportation like the Appian way of ancient Roman roads. Major examples include the Edo Five Routes, all of which started at Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Minor examples include sub-routes such as the Hokuriku Kaidō and the Nagasaki Kaidō. ''Kaidō'', however, do ''not'' include San'yōdō, San'indō, Nankaidō and Saikaidō, which were part of the even more ancient system of Yamato government called Gokishichidō. These names were used for administrative units, and the roads within these units. Many highways and railway lines in modern Japan follow the ancient routes and carry the same names. The early roads radiated from the capital at Nara or Kyoto. Later, Edo was the reference, and even today Japan reckons directions and measures distances along its highways from Nihonbashi in Chūō, Tokyo. ==The Gokaidō== (詳細はTōkaidō (東海道) to Kyoto along the coastline *Nakasendō (中山道) to Kyoto through the mountains *Kōshū Kaidō (甲州街道) to Kōfu *Ōshū Kaidō (奥州街道) to Shirakawa and other places of northern Japan *Nikkō Kaidō (日光街道) to Nikkō 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaidō」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
