Samegai-juku

Japan

Samegai-juku (Samegai-juku) was the sixty-first of the sixty-nine post stations on the Nakasendō, a highway connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto during the Edo period of Japan. Located in what is now Maibara in Shiga Prefecture, the post town developed around the clear spring Isame no Shimizu and the Jizogawa River. Several Edo-period buildings and waterways survive, and the area forms part of the Japan Heritage listing “Lake Biwa and its Waterside Landscape—Water Heritage of Prayer and Life.”
