Ejiri-juku

It is one of four former post stations located in what is now part of the Shimizu-ku area of Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

It was 3.4 kilometers from Okitsu-juku, the preceding post station.

The castle was built in 1570, but Ejiri-juku was not officially designated a post station until the early 17th century.

At its peak, it had two honjin, three sub-honjin and 50 hatago, among the 1,340 total buildings.

The classic ukiyo-e print by Andō Hiroshige (Hōeidō edition) from 1831–1834 depicts a view over the Miho no Matsubara with boats anchored in the foreground in front of a fishing village, with others sailing in Suruga Bay.
