OutlineAs roads were improved and many publications regarding travel and town sights were distributed, travel
became a pastime for the common folk in the late Edo era. However, the privelige of travel was not granted
to all and were only limited to those with a valid reason. This exhibition will introduce some of the “valid”
reasons of the time including excursions in the vicinity of Edo and religious shrine visits. Although trips
were only allowed to those with religious beliefs for the purpose of visiting temples and shrines, theconditions of travel were gradually relaxed and soon open to those for simple excursions. Discover andenjoy travelling in Edo, the pastime of the people.
