This system of paths and roads facilitated transportation, information and troops from the government. The passage of people and goods along these roads were checked at various barrier stations along the routes. The Tokaido Road along the Pacific Coast was the busiest route as it was the most direct and was mostly flat. Due to the number of river crossings involved along the Tokaido, it was considered dangerous, and many sent their wives and children on the longer, but safer Nakasendo inland highway. The Nakasendo or the "highway through the eastern mountains stretched 500 km from Kyoto to Tokyo over mountainous terrain. Important post towns along the Nakasendo included Kusatsu, Maibara, Ochiai, Miyanokoshi, Yabuhara, Shiojiri, Karuizawa, Maebashi and Kawaguchi. These post-towns provided accommodation & lodging for travelers on the old highway. The Nakasendo trails are well marked and attract a growing number of hikers who wish to seek out rural Japan.
