History

Echigawa-juku was originally a post town along the Tōsandō, before becoming part of the Nakasendō. In its heyday, it thrived as both a post town and a commercial center. For those who were heading to the Kantō region for trading, Echigawa was their traditional first stop along the Nakasendō. [http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~unou-h/nakasendo.html Nakasendō Echigawa-juku] . Taro Tenbin. Accessed July 20, 2007.]

The current residents of the area surrounding the former Echigawa-juku often refer to it as the sixty-sixth stop along the Nakasendō, because they count Nihonbashi as the first stop, even though it is an endpoint.
