Japanese: 川崎宿 - かわさきじゅく

The Nakahara, Yagurasawa, and Tsukui highways, which crossed the city and directly connected it to Edo, developed, and in 1623 (Genwa 9), Kawasaki-shuku on the Tokaido was established.

In 1688 (Genroku 1), the wooden bridge over the Rokugo River, downstream of the Tama River, was washed away by flooding, and this became a ferry.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "Kawasaki-juku" is listed below.
