The Inaba Kaidō running through Ōhara-shuku
The Inaba Kaidō (因幡街道) was a
route built during the
Edo period in
Japan. It started in
Himeji,
Harima Province (modern-day
Hyōgo Prefecture), and stretched to
Tottori,
Inaba Province (modern-day
Tottori Prefecture). There were eleven
post stations along the route connecting to two cities.
The historical route is now traced by National Routes
