69 Stations of the Nakasendō



The 69 Stations of the Nakasendō (中山道六十九次, Nakasendō Rokujūkyū-tsugi) are the rest areas along the Nakasendō, which ran from Nihonbashi in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Sanjō Ōhashi in Kyoto.[1][2] The route stretched approximately 534 km (332 mi) and was an alternate trade route to the Tōkaidō.[1]

Ai no Shuku


Ai no shuku (intermediate area) are intermediate rest areas along Japan's historical routes. Because they are not official post stations, normal travelers were generally not allowed to stay at them. Here are some of the ai no shuku along the Nakasendō:



  • Fukiage-shuku, between Kōnosu-juku and Kumagai-juku (Kōnosu, Saitama Prefecture)


  • Motai-shuku, between Mochizuki-shuku and Ashida-shuku (Saku, Nagano Prefecture)


  • Shinkanō-juku, between Unuma-juku and Kanō-juku (Kakamigahara, Gifu Prefecture)
