参勤交代の道「宮津街道」 Ancient Miyazu 'Sankinkotai' Road
Sankin-kotai (alternate attendance) was a system during the Tokugawa shogunate of the Edo Period (1603-1868) where the roughly 200 daimyo (warlords) of Japan were required to typically spend alternate years in Edo (today's Tokyo) and their domain. The idea of this was to financially strain them making them unable to wage war. The daimyo built roads for the frequent travel. These major roads were called 'kaido'. Recently, I walked a section of Miyazu Kaido. It is paved with rocks, which is called 'ishi-tatami' (cobble paved). A large section of this stone pavement remains to this day.
先日、岩戸から普甲峠を越えたところまで参勤交代の道「宮津街道」を歩きました。この部分に石畳がまだ残っています。
