The Great Sanjo Bridge, Kyoto, from the series the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido (Hoeido edition)

It was about 500 kilometers from Edo to Kyoto. The trip took about two weeks on foot. Having experienced violent wind and rain, illness and a variety of other things along the way, when people finally arrived in the capital and saw the Great Sanjo Bridge over the Kamo River they must have breathed a sigh of relief. In the background we can see Kiyomizu Temple halfway up Mt. Otowa.
