Kusatsu-juku Honjin – National Historic Site

Japan, 1-2-8 Kusatsu, Kusatsu City, Shiga Prefecture 525-0034

Kusatsu-juku was an important post town where two major highways of the Edo period—the Tōkaidō and the Nakasendō—split and converged. The honjin was a special inn located in each post town, used for lodging by feudal lords (daimyō) and court nobles. The Kusatsu-juku Honjin is one of the largest surviving honjin buildings in Japan. Its guest registry, known as the daifukuchō, includes notable names such as the Shinsengumi and Princess Kazunomiya.
