The steepest pitch reaches 17 percent, against an average of 32 feet of gain per mile. The 15.9 miles is the one-way distance of the drawn route. On our gain-and-distance scale it falls in the moderately strenuous band. The nearest town is Kusatsu, under a mile away.

The trail

The Tōkaidō road (東海道, Tōkaidō), which roughly means "eastern sea route," was the most important of the Five Routes of the Edo period in Japan, connecting Kyoto to the de facto capital of Japan at Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Unlike the inland and less heavily travelled Nakasendō, the Tōkaidō travelled along the sea coast of eastern Honshū, hence the route's name.
