History

Located at an elevation of 820m, at the entrance to the Wada Pass, it was considered a quiet mountain town. Because Shimosuwa-juku, the next post town, was over 20km away, it flourished with over 150 buildings to accommodate all of the travelers and their pack animals.

Presently, there are remains of both the "honjin" and original houses, which are being restored and preserved. The area has also long been known for its vast resources of obsidian. [http://www.kokuyou.ne.jp/~yoro/ Nakasendō Wada-shuku Yorozuya] . Yorozuya. Accessed July 31, 2007.]
