Gōdo-juku


Gōdo-juku was the fifty-fourth of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō. It is located in the present-day city of Gifu, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Gōdo-juku flourished as a post town because it was located next to the Nagara River and there was a ferry service to the other side..

''Ukiyo-e''

The formal name of the ukiyo-e print is "Gifu Road Station: Godo, Nagara River Cormorant Fishing Boat". The Gifu City Museum of History offers visitors a chance to make their own copy of the ukiyo-e that is seen to the left in one of their many hands-on exhibits.

Gōdo-juku Festival

On the last Sunday of October, the Nakasendō Gōdo-juku Committee organizes a Gōdo-juku Festival, with the support of other sponsors. The festival offers hands-on experiences and teaches about the Edo period post station.
