Explanation and Etymology - (街道) kaidou

街道 It is a Japanese word that can be divided into two kanjis: 街 (GAI) means "street" or "avenue" and 道 (Dou) means "path" or "road". Therefore, the word 街道 can be translated as "main street" or "main road". The etymology of the word 街道 dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when Japan was under the control of the Tokugawa Xogunate. At this time, the government established a network of main roads that connected the main cities of the country. These roads were called 街道 and were used to transport goods, communication and trips of important people. Nowadays, the word 街道 is still used in Japan to refer to main streets or important roads that connect cities or regions. In addition, the word is also used in streets and place names, such as the famous Tokyo Commercial Street, Ginza-Dori (銀座通り), which is one of the main 街道 in the city.
