Maisaka-juku

It is located in the western portion of Hamamatsu in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

The kanji for the post station were originally written 舞坂 (Maisaka).

Maisaka-juku was located on the eastern shores of Lake Hamana (浜名湖, Hamana-ko).

Travelers crossed the lake to reach Arai-juku, the next post station on the Tōkaidō.

[1] The classic ukiyo-e print by Andō Hiroshige (Hōeidō edition) from 1831 to 1834 depicts a small port, with Mount Fuji having become a very small landmark in the distance.
