The Nagasaki Kaidō (長崎街道) was a road across Kyūshū from Kokura to Nagasaki, used by daimyo for the sankin kotai, and also by the chief of the Dutch trading post at Nagasaki on whom a similar obligation of visiting the Shogun was imposed. The route stretched 228 km and took travelers approximately one week.
