History

Ejiri-juku was Ejiri Castle's castle town. The castle was built in 1570, but Ejiri-juku was not officially designated a post station until the early 1600s. At its peak, it had two "honjin", three sub-"honjin" and 50 "hatago", among the 1,340 total buildings. Its population was around 6,500.
