After visiting various places in Fushimi, I set off for Yodo, the 55th shukuba station.
The Tokaido ran along the Yodo River from Fushimi to Osaka in the Edo era.
After leaving Fushimi and going forward for a while, the old Tokaido runs along the bank of the Uji River. The Uji River changes its name to the Yodo River downstream.
The blossoms of rapeseed flower began on the riverbed.
Around the area, there are several disaster and environment-related research centers and factories. They include the Disaster Prevention Research Institute of Kyoto University.
The Keihan Electric Railway line also ran along the old Tokaido.
The Yodo River (Uji River), the Katsura River, and the Kizu River are close to each other around Yodo shukuba (the three rivers merge downstream from Yodo shukuba). Historically, many floods occurred here. I ofund information to warn floods on electric poles along the Tokaido.
Fierce fighting took place in the area during the Battle of Toba-Fushimi in 1868. There is a memorial monument for the war dead along the road.
I arrived in Yodo shukuba area. Today's walk was about 6km.
