Fuchū-shuku


Fuchū-shuku was the nineteenth of the fifty-three stations of the Tōkaidō. It is located in what is now part of the Aoi-ku area of Shizuoka, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

History

The post station of Fuchū-shuku was also a castle town for Sunpu Castle in the former Suruga Province.

The classic ukiyo-e print by Andō Hiroshige from 1831–1834 depicts travellers crossing the Abe River to the west of the post station. A woman is being carried in a kago, while other people are fording the stream on foot.
