Kanbara-juku

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kanbara-juku (蒲原宿, Kanbara-juku^?) was the fifteenth of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. It is located in the Shimizu-ku area of Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is one of three former post stations located in Shimizu-ku.

[edit] History

The original Kanbara-juku was decimated by a flood in the early part of the Edo period, but was rebuilt shortly thereafter.^[1] The post town that is seen today is this historical reconstruction.
