Bungo Kaidō

The Bungo Kaidō (豊後街道) was a route built during the Edo period in Japan.

[1] After Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified the nation and Kiyomasa entered Higo to rule the province, Katō traveled the route to the port of Tsurusaki.

[2] Then he reached Osaka through the Seto Inland Sea and headed to Edo by foot.

In addition to the established use of traveling from Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Higo Province, there were also many roads that connected from the Bungo Kaidō.

The terminus for the Hyūga Ōkan is in Nobeoka in modern Miyazaki Prefecture.
