Futagawa-cho
and Oiwa-cho are in the district where an atmosphere of
the Edo Era still remains. Many houses line both sides of
a narrow street in the east of Futagawa Station on the Tokaido
Honsen Line, and old houses dotted on the old road inherit
an old atmosphere of the old Tokaido Highway.
Futagawa-juku Honjin located at the old Tokaido Highway
was reproduced based on old sketches of the building
in 1988. The Shoin-to which has an upper room, the
entrance building and the main building make a distinct
picture of the entire Honjin. Futagawa-juku Honjin Shiryoukan
built adjacent to the Honjin exhibits materials covering
the then Futagawa-juku and transport in the recent age
under the themes of Tokaido, Honjin and Futagawa-juku.
Special exhibitions covering history are also frequently
held. Various Futagawa-juku Honjin festivals are held
combining with the seasons such as Daimyo Parade and
the girls festival. |
