Imasu-juku

Imasu-juku (今須宿, Imasu-juku^?) was the fifty-ninth of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō. It is located in the present-day town of Sekigahara, Fuwa District, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.

History

This Edo period post town flourished along the Nakasendō because it also connected with Kurihangaidō (九里半街道),^[1] a trade road that connected the northwestern shores of Lake Biwa with Kohama.^[2] Along with Tarui-juku, it was the first post town of the Five Routes of Edo to be serviced by cars.^[1]
