Mishima-shuku
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mishima-shuku (三島宿 Mishima-shuku?) was the eleventh of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. It is located in the present-day city of Mishima, in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
[edit] History
In Mishima-juku, there were two honjin and 74 other minor inns for travelers. It was one of the major stations for the Tokugawa shogunate during the Edo period and, until 1759, was part of Izu Province and under the control of the Izu clan.
Additionally, because water flows from Mount Fuji to the town, it was referred to as the "Capital of Water."[1]
