Shōno-juku (庄野宿 Shōno-juku?) was the forty-fifth of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. It is located in the present-day city of Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Japan.

[edit] History

Shōno-juku established an archives museum in 1998 in one of the former honjin to share the story of the old post station.[1] It contains information on Shōno-juku's honjin, other buildings and aspects of daily life. In addition to the restored honjin, there are also ruins for the sub-honjin, toiyaba and kōreiba.
