Description of the Travelers

Chuubei the messenger

When Chuubei arrives at each of the 3 intermediate Inns, before the Meal he draws 1 Encounter card and applies its effect.

Hiroshige the artist

When Hiroshige arrives at each of the 3 intermediate Inns, before the Meal he gains any sequential panorama card.

Hirotada the priest

Each time he stops at the Temple, Hirotada can gain 1 coin from the reserve and donate it to the Temple, scoring 1 point for this coin. This is in addition to the 1, 2, or 3 coins he can donate to the Temple.

Kinko the ronin

Each Meal card purchased by Kinko costs one coin less. (Meals that cost 1 are therefore free.)

Mitsukuni the old man

Mitsukuni earns 1 additional point for each Hot

Spring card and each achievement card.

Sasayakko the geisha

In the Shop, if Sasayakko purchases at least 2 Souvenir cards, the cheapest Souvenir is free.

Note: She must have the coins on hand to pay for all Souvenirs, but she doesn’t pay for the cheapest one.

Satsuki the orphan

When she arrives at an Inn, Satsuki receives the first Meal card from the Meal cards pile for free.

Note: After seeing the Meal offered to her, she can decide not to take it. In this case, the drawn card is returned face down to the bottom of the Meal cards pile, and she can decide to purchase a Meal as normal following the usual rule.

Umegae the street entertainer

Umegae earns 1 point and 1 coin for each Encounter.

Note: This gain happens before applying the effects of the Encounter card picked.

Yoshiyasu the functionary

During each Encounter, Yoshiyasu draws 2 Encounter cards, keeps 1, then places the other card at the bottom of the pile (without showing it to the other players).

Zen-emon the merchant

Once per Shop, Zen-emon can purchase one Souvenir for 1 coin instead of the marked price.
