**Traveling During the Tokugawa Period**
====//Traveling was one of the main things that everyone during the Tokugawa period did, they traveled back and forth between Edo, Kyoto, and Osaka. They had highways and waterways linking to the main cities they traveled to and also had connections to smaller cities and towns along the way. Tokugawa had five major highways: The Tokaido Road that linked to the ancient capital, Kyoto, with the new capital, Edo, was another highway witch allowed travlers to the daimyo processions, often numbering hundreds of people.//==== //By the middle ages of the Tokuawa period, it was found to be common that people also travel the network of roads that are linking the cities and countryside, because of the demand for skilled builders, craftspeople and courtesans was to provide services to the daimyo. People from the Edo moved along the system of roads from the countryside into the capital. Agricultural goods also produced sale along roads and waterways leading into other cities. People also travled on major roads to visit shrines, religious places, and the importance of Japan. As a result of the increasing travel throughout the Edo period was the creation of a more linked and integrated culture and society. People were often isolated in villages and small towns had chances to travel and to interact with travelers.//
