What to expect

In Hiroshige Ando's ukiyoe “Tokaido - Goju-san-tsugi” (Hoei-do version), which is also popular overseas, the Yui Pass is depicted as a sheer precipice, and the figure appears to be about to fall down a 45-degree slope. The bold composition shows how difficult this place was.  It was only after the great earthquake of 1854 that the coastline became safely passable without the difficult Satta Pass.  Today, major construction work has been carried out on the stale coastline, and the Tokaido Main Line, National Route 1, and the Tomei Expressway, Japan's main transportation arteries, pass through the area as if they were bundled together. You can take a cab up to the middle of Mt. Satto, which juts out into Suruga Bay, and look down on this bundle from the Satto Pass, and on a clear day you can see Mt.  Fuji on a clear day. After seeing this spectacular view painted by Hiroshige, head to the Tokaido Hiroshige Art Museum!
