Tegoshi-shuku

Japanese: 手越宿 - てごしのしゅく

A medieval post station in Suruga Province. It was also called Tegoshi Station. Tegoshi, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture, is currently located on the right bank of the Abe River, but in the Middle Ages it was located on the right bank of the Warashina River, which flows into the Abe River. According to the entry for October 16, 1180 in the Azuma Kagami, tens of thousands of troops of Taira Koremori, who was aiming to pursue the Genji, arrived at Tegoshi Station. In 1189, Tegoshi Heita Ietsuna was given Mariko (present-day Mariko, Shizuoka City) by Minamoto no Yoritomo as a reward for his military achievements in the Oshu Conquest, and was allowed to build a station house. Ietsuna was probably a local samurai. The name appears in travel writings such as the Kaido-ki throughout the Middle Ages. During the Nanboku-cho civil war, the armies of Ashikaga Tadayoshi and Hojo Tokiyuki, as well as the armies of Ashikaga Tadayoshi and Takano Moroyasu and Nitta Yoshisada fought at Tegoshigawara. In the early modern period, post stations were established on the Tokaido at Fuchu (Sunpu) and Marukoshi, and Tegoshi, located between them, lost its function as a post station and became Tegoshi Village, Abe County, Suruga Province.

駿河国にあった中世の宿駅。手越駅ともいう。現在の静岡県静岡市手越は安倍川の右岸にあるが，中世には同川に合流する藁科(わらしな)川の右岸に位置していた。《吾妻鏡》治承４年（1180年）10月16日条によれば，源氏追討をめざす平維盛(これもり)の軍勢数万が〈手越駅〉に到着している。1189年手越平太家綱は奥州征伐の戦功により源頼朝から麻利子(まりこ)（現静岡市丸子(まりこ)）を与えられ，駅家(うまや)の建設を許可されているが，家綱は当地の武士であろう。中世を通じて《海道(かいどう)記》などの紀行文にその名がみえる。南北朝内乱期には，足利直義(ただよし)軍と北条時行(ときゆき)軍，また足利直義・高師泰(こうのもろやす)軍と新田義貞軍が手越河原で合戦を行っている。近世には府中（駿府(すんぷ)）と丸子に東海道の宿駅が設置され，その中間にあたる手越は宿駅としての機能を失い，駿河国安倍郡手越村となった。
