Shono-juku

Shono-juku was the forty-fifth of the fifty-three stations of the Tokaido. It is located in the present-day city of Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Japan.

History

Shono-juku established an archives museum in 1998 in one of the former honjin to share the story of the old post station. It contains information on Shono-juku's honjin, other buildings and aspects of daily life. In addition to the restored honjin, there are also ruins for the sub-honjin, toiyaba and koreiba.
