Bashô's "Nozarashi kikô" route

This is a list of the main sites Bashô lists as having visited on the Bleached bones in a field journey. This reflects sections in annotated editions of the text more that anything strictly linked to a date or a verse; remember that the text itself is fictionalized so it's not possible to really be precise as one might with an actual itinerary.
