     According to MLIT's Yokohama National Highway Office (国土交通省関東地方整備局 横浜国土事務所) the distance from Nihonbashi to the Hodogaya-juku, the first post station on the Tōkaidō route to Kyoto, was about 33km and people walked around 40km/day in the Edo period. Pedometers would have recorded 57,000 to 60,000 steps if they had them then😬
