In addition to creating the Fujikawa-shuku Archives Museum within the preserved waki-honjin, detailing the history of the post town, the city has preserved a number of old structures such old street lights, and traditional houses with lattice windows.

A line of old pine trees extending for approximately a kilometer marks the location of the Tōkaidō road.
