Kyoto City Streets (街道): Kyoto to Osaka (1)

One day, I decided to go looking for the old road from Kyoto to Osaka. Living in the city, I usually walk everywhere, discovering legends, interesting people, and tasty treats along the way. Why not walk from Kyoto to Osaka? People used to do it all the time. The "city street" (街道)was once the busiest route to Osaka. I decided to do it in one weekend. The plan: walk on the easiest, most interesting paths available- the old city streets.


I passed through the Shimabara Great Gate at around 9am on Saturday. I hopped onto the old road right out my front door.
