Takamiya-juku (高宮宿 Takamiya-juku?) was the sixty-fourth of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō. It is located in the present-day city of Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, Japan on the right bank of the Inukami River (犬上川). It stretches from the center of the city out towards the east.[1] It became a post town shortly after its original founding during the Warring States period.[1]
