Hodogaya-juku

It is located in Hodogaya-ku in the present-day city of Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

Hodogaya-juku was established in 1601, and it was the westernmost post station in Musashi Province during the Edo period.

[1] The classic ukiyo-e print by Andō Hiroshige (Hōeidō edition) from 1831 to 1834 depicts a bridge over a stream, with two porters carrying a closed kago towards a village on the other side.

By the bridge is a soba restaurant with waitresses standing in front beckoning travellers to enter.

Minor routes, including the Kanazawa-Kamakura-dō (金沢鎌倉道), the Hachiōji-dō (八王子道) and the Ōyama-dō (大山道), branched off of the Tōkaidō at Hodogaya-juku.
