History

The area around Seki-juku was always a major intersection for travel. During the time of the Jinshin War, it was known as one of the "Three Ancient Seki", being called the "Ise Suzuka Seki" (伊勢鈴鹿の関 "Ise Suzuka no Seki"). During the Edo period, it was a lively post town, because both the Isebetsu Kaidō (伊勢別街道) and the Yamato Kaidō (大和街道) intersected with the Tōkaidō here.

Many of the historical buildings have been preserved and the area has become a Nationally-designated Architectural Preservation Site.
