Sekigahara-juku's Honjin

関ケ原宿本陣跡 Sekigahara-juku Honjin-ato

Sekigahara was one of the post towns along the Nakasendo. The honjin was a designated inn where passing daimyo and other important officials would stay. Like most of the honjin, the building no longer exists. On its former site there is a marker and a tree that stood in the front garden. The rest of the former honjin now contains Hachiman Shrine. The gate of Sekigahara's honjin is preserved in the neighboring town of Tarui at Honryuji Temple.
