In Tokaido, you are a traveler in ancient Japan. You will follow the prestigious Tokaido--a road between Kyoto and Edo (Tokyo)--as you try to have a rich and fulfilling experience. Pass through magnificent countryside, taste delicious culinary specialties, purchase souvenirs, benefit from the virtues of hot springs, and have unforgettable encounters on your journey.

Travel the historic Tokaido road between Kyoto and Edo, seeking the most rewarding experiences rather than simply reaching the destination first. Stop to admire sweeping panoramas, enjoy regional meals, relax in hot springs, purchase souvenirs, visit temples and meet travellers along the route.

Movement is governed by a distinctive time track: the traveller furthest behind takes the next turn and may advance to any available location ahead. Moving farther can secure an important destination, but passing other spaces means surrendering the experiences and scoring opportunities they provide. This Stonemaier edition preserves Antoine Bauza’s original gameplay while introducing solo play and several accessibility and component improvements.

• Time Track Turns: The traveller furthest behind on the road acts next, allowing carefully paced movement to produce consecutive turns
• Open Movement Decisions: Move as far forward as desired, balancing access to a valuable location against permanently passing other opportunities
• Varied Journey Stops: Collect panorama sections, bathe in hot springs, donate at temples, buy souvenir sets, enjoy meals and resolve encounters
• Required Inn Stops: Every traveller must pause at each inn, where turn order influences access to the available meal cards
• Included Automa Mode: A dedicated solo system uses Automa and difficulty cards to extend the game to one player
• Stonemaier Edition Updates: Revised rules, player reference cards and added explanatory text reduce the need to consult the rulebook during play
• Expansion Compatibility: Component specifications have been matched for compatibility with existing Tokaido expansions
• Upgraded Cards: Panorama cards use Stonemaier’s 310gsm cardstock for improved durability and handling
