History

Hodogaya-juku was established in 1601, and it was the western most post station in Musashi Province during the Edo period. The "honjin" still belongs to the same family today as the one that owned it when it was first opened.

Additionally, there is a stone Buddha statue that travelers often prayed to for safety while traveling along the Tōkaidō. [http://www.city.yokohama.jp/me/hodogaya/news/pdf/sekibutsu-e.pdf "The stone Buddha and Pagoda"] . Yokohama City Hall. Accessed December 10, 2007.]
