Former Tokaido Tozuka-juku

Tozuka-juku was established in Keicho 9 (1604), and it was three years later in Keicho 6 (1601), when the neighboring hotels in Fujisawa and Hodogaya were established. Tozuka-juku is the fifth post town counted from Nihonbashi, the starting point, and is about 10 and a half miles (about 42 km) from Nihonbashi, making it the best place to stay for travelers at the time of leaving Edo in the morning. In addition, it was very busy as an inn at the branch of Yuzan Road to Kamakura and Oyama pilgrimage Road. The old Tokaido in Totsuka Ward straddles north-south direction and is about 11.7 km long. Among them, Tozuka-juku is located in a range of about 2.3 km between the two Mitsuke sites, the Edo-kata Mitsuke site and the upper Mitsuke site, and is still bustling as the center of Totsuka Ward.
