At the port of [[Kaminoseki]], near the easternmost reaches of [[Choshu han|Chôshû han]], which might serve as a representative case, most of the houses along the main street, as well as a number of houses along the main street of the neighboring port of Murotsu, were made to house Tsushima or Chôshû officials accompanying the Korean missions.<ref>In 1764, for example, 36 out of the 43 homes along the main street in Kaminoseki each housed at least one official, with some of them housing as many as four or five.

After traveling through the Inland Sea by ship to Osaka, the embassy rode luxurious private riverboats of various ''daimyô'' (lent by the ''daimyô'' for this purpose in partial fulfillment of their corvée obligations) up the river to Fushimi, and thence from Kyoto, set out overland. Between Kyoto and Nagoya they took a combination of various highways which, in aggregate, came to be known as the ''Chôsenjin kaidô'' (“Koreans’ Highway”). This took them through [[Hikone]], Ôgaki, and several other towns bypassed by the [[Tokaido|Tôkaidô]]. From [[Nagoya|Nagoya’s]] [[Miya-juku]] the rest of the way to Edo, they took the Tôkaidô.<ref name=carnival420/>
