This exhibition will be separated in four routes heading south,west, north, and east, as well as introducing Meisho-e by Hiroshige while referring to the guide map, “Diagramfor Traveling Around Edo in Four Days” that introduce travel tips for efficiently making the best of four dayswhile in Edo.

Short Trips Enjoyed by People of Edo

Traveling was relatively more accessible as infrastructure was improved in the Edo era and people of Edo

also enjoyed traveling across various provinces. However, traveling was not a luxury for all as a Tsūkō
Tegata (travel permit) was required to cross barriers of Hakone, Kobotoke, and Usui outside Edo. Also,travel permits were only granted to those with public / business engagements, temple visits (religious),
hot‐spring cure (medical), service, or marriage purposes.

In these circumstances, it was only the areas before the barriers that could be traveled freely and accessed
without travel permits. Suburbs in Edo that still had a lot of nature, as well as Enoshima, Kamakura, andHakone Nanayu that were relatively accessible were popular spots to relax and enjoy for the people in Edo.
Enjoy the many locations that were enjoyed by the Edo people in the form of Ukiyo-e.
