Tokaido Walk (5) Totsuka-Fujisawa: Dec.11, 2010




I had the 5th part of my Tokaido walk. It was from Totsuka (the 5th shukuba station, in current Yokohama city) to Fujisawa (the 6th station, in current Fujisawa city).



Most parts of old Tokaido in the area has turned into National Rout 1. The roads are generally hilly, but houses are built along the roads. I found many houses and apartments spread at the foot of a hill when I watched down from a hilltop.



A long-distance relay race (Tokyo-Hakone) among major universities is held every new-year season and the race attracts the attention of many Japanese. Old Tokaido is used for the race. I found manhole covers with relay-race design.
