Kusatsu-juku Honjin

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

Kusatsu-juku was an important post station where the major roads of the Edo period, the Tokaido and Nakasendo, diverged and merged. A ``honjin'' was placed at each post station and was used by feudal lords and court nobles to rest. Kusatsu-juku Honjin is one of the largest buildings in Japan that still exists. The name of the Shinsengumi and the Princess Kazunomiya are also written in the Daifukucho, which is the inn book.
