was the thirty-seventh of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. It is located in the present-day city of Okazaki, in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It was approximately from Akasaka-juku, the preceding post station.〔(Tokaido 53: Fujikawa-juku (Okazaki) ). Tōkaidō no Tabi. Accessed March 6, 2008.〕 Another accepted reading for this post town is "Fujikawa-juku." At its peak, Fujikawa-juku was home to 302 buildings, including one ''honjin'', one sub-''honjin'' and 36 ''hatago''. Its total population was approximately 1,200 people.〔The classic ''ukiyoe'' print by Ando Hiroshige (''Hoeido'' edition) from 1831 to 1834 depicts a ''daimyō'' procession on ''sankin-kōtai'' entering the post station, which would have been a common occurrence. Three commoners are shown as kneeling as the lord's retinue passes. 〔http://www.hiroshige.org.uk/hiroshige/tokaido_hoeido/tokaido_hoeido_04.htm 〕 The Okazaki city government has been working actively on preserving this old post town as a tourist destination. In addition to creating the Fujikawa-shuku Archives Museum within the preserved waki-''honjin'', detailing the history of the post town, the city has preserved a number of old structures such old street lights, and traditional houses with lattice windows. A line of old pine trees extending for approximately a kilometer marks the location of the Tōkaidō road. ==Neighboring Post Towns== ;Tōkaidō :Akasaka-juku - Fujikawa-shuku - Okazaki-shuku 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fujikawa-shuku」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
