It's the 15th boarding station in Kadesh. The current TochichigiShimoyke bridge.

Overview

It's an amazing thing. It's amazing. In the beginning, six villages were called inner villages, since it was then a natural state. At the same time, the inner village became a boarding station. The inn's old house, the old Tsukoku Tsukoku, settled on the land and became a farmer, said to have been a farmer. According to Japan's Daily Yomiuri (1843), Ishabashakiu had a house of honjen and a house of wichi-honjnjn. The number of families in the house was 79 and the population was 414. In addition to passing on the fourth road, which is the old Nikkō Kaidō, on the bridge, we can still see the silence of the traffic as it moves around the same rail bridge.
