Kanagawa-juku

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

Many of its historical artifacts were destroyed by the Great Kantō earthquake and bombings during World War II.

[1] Kanagawa-juku was established parallel to Kanagawa Port and it flourished as part of the route that goods traveled on the way to Sagami Province.

After the country was opened to international trade, the center of commerce was moved to the opposite shore as well.

In 1889, the town of Kanagawa was established, and it eventually merged into Yokohama in 1901.
