History

During the Edo period, Itabashi-shuku flourshed as one of the four post stations in Edo and spread out over two kilometers from north to south. From the north of Tokyo, it was divided into three sections: Kami-shuku (上宿), Naka-shuku (中宿) and Hirao-shuku (平尾宿). Kami-shuku and Naka-shuku were bounded by the Itabashi, which was a bridge spanning the Shakujii River. The "honjin" and the "toiya" were located in Naka-shuku. The borders of Hirao-shuku spread until the vicinity of Kanmei-ji.
