Though the post station and the castle share the same name, different "kanji " were used to write the name: 清洲 was used for the castle, while 清須 was used for the post station.Ruins of the post town's "
honjin " can still be found today, just south of Kiyosu Park. The Meiji emperor stayed in the "honjin" while traveling during his reign.Neighboring post towns
