Goudo-juku

[ Walking guide ]

Goudo-juku

Goudo-juku flourished, facing the ferryboat at Nagara River. This post station, which used to suffer from flooding, had its ground level raised, and there is a “monument” at the place where “Goudono-Ichiri Zuka” used to be. Unfortunately there are no old houses left to remind us of ancient times in Goudojuku, because of fires due to World War II and improvement work on Nagara River.
◆From Goudo-juku to Mieji-juku
The route of this portion of the course remains unchanged and nowadays has heavy traffic. There are old streets left, especially in the area of Honden, Mizuho City, in which “Honden-no-Enmeijizo” gives us a feel for the atmosphere of ancient times.
