Ushū Kaidō: 4-day campervan (Kōri→Aburakawa)
4 days, 3 nights ・ ≈534 km ・ 10h 57m driving (estimated)
Ushū Kaidō (491 km): 13 days on foot in the Edo period, 9 by express horse — 4 days by campervan, passing all 73 post towns. Overnight stops are only michi-no-eki and RV parks we checked for 24-hour toilets and no "no overnight parking" signs. One-way trip starting at Kōri: confirm pick-up/drop-off at another branch with the rental company first.
