Information

------------------------------

James Hobbs cycles the pre-modern highway Nagasaki Kaido. During the Edo period (1603-1868) when the Shogunate prohibited external trade, they allowed one exception - the port of Nagasaki Prefecture. Ideas, technology, culture and goods flowed from this port along the Nagasaki Kaido to the rest of Japan. Named the "Sugar Road" after one of the most important trade goods, the old highway and those who traveled it had a lasting influence on the communities along its route.
