This road has been used by Tokugawa Ieyasu on his way to Edo.
The final route of the Tokaido was planned later.
In the town of Nakahara was an official residence, 中原御殿 Nakahara Goten and this road became a waki kaido 脇街道 side-road.
小杉 Kosugi and 下川井 Shimo-Kawai also had official residences, used by the Shoguns when traveling along the Tokaido or takagari 鷹狩 going hunting with hawks.

Many normal travelers, pilgrims and tradesmen used this road to avoid the Tokaido, which was always used by officials on Sankin Kotai tours to Edo.

Nakahara is now a ward of Kawasaki city.
Primarily a commuter suburb, Nakahara-ku has popular green spaces by the Tama River, including parks, a fishing pond, and cherry blossom picnic spots near Nikaryo dike. Spectators take in soccer and track events at Todoroki Stadium and basketball at Todoroki Arena. Exhibits at Kawasaki City Museum trace the city’s growth from ancient times to present day. Noodle bars and izakayas surround Musashi-Nakahara Station.
