History

Kawasaki-juku was established as a post station in 1623, by Hasegawa Nagatsuna, a local official. [http://www.city.kawasaki.jp/61/61kusei/kawasakijuku/meguri.htm Tōkaidō Kawasaki-juku Meguri] . Kawasaki City Hall. Accessed December 10, 2007.] It was the last post station to be built along the Tōkaidō. It was located near Heiken-ji, a Buddhist shrine, so it was often used by travelers coming to pray.
