In the middle of the Edo period, the writings of the crossing the sea story of Tokubee (徳兵衛の 渡海物語) spread widely throughout Japan. This Paper is about verification of historical materials of Tokubee's Genroku7(元禄七年(1694 A.D.)) Manuscripts. This paper makes clear that Tokubee's Genroku7(元禄七年) Manuscripts are in agreement with the historical facts of other records in the early Edo period. But those reduced the value of objective historical materials. Because his original material made a vague statement based on the Buddhist world view for the purpose of returning to Japan in the era when crossing the sea was prohibited(Kaikin 海禁).
