In Kanshakudama-nage Kantarou no Toukaidou Gojuusan-tsugi (かんしゃく玉投げカン太郎の東海道五十三次), you play a fireworks-maker traveling the Tōkaidō road ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tōkaidō_%28road%29 ). The game actually bears quite a resemblance to the actual geography of the Tōkaidō road; famous landmarks, rivers, and flora types are reproduced as well as they can be given the limitations of the Famicom.

The game is quite difficult -- the hero is slow moving and hard to control, and your only weapon is an endless supply of fireworks. The author's comments ( https://tasvideos.org/3608S ) detail the methods used as well as explaining all of the various baddies encountered during this quest.
