Former Tokaido Tozuka-juku

Last update date October 13, 2023

The establishment of Tozuka-juku was three years later in Keicho 6 (1601), when the neighboring inn of Fujisawa and Hodogaya, were established. Tozuka-juku is the fifth post town counted from Nihonbashi, the starting point, and is 10 and a half (approximately 42 km) from Nihonbashi, making it the best place to stay for travelers at the time of departure from Edo. In addition, it was very busy as a branch inn on the road of Yuzan to Kamakura and the road of Oyama pilgrimage.
The old Tokaido Highway in Totsuka Ward extends north-south direction and is approximately 11.7 km long. Among them, Tozuka-juku is located in the area of about 2.3 km between the two sites of Edokata Mitsuke and the Kamigata Mitsuke, and is still bustling as the center of Totsuka Ward.
