Walking the Kamakura Kaido with a Sugito-shuku Guide

About this event

This is a walking tour in Sugito Town, Saitama Prefecture, exploring the historic Kamakura Kaido highway alongside an experienced guide. Participants can experience the history and culture of Sugito-shuku while visiting related heritage sites, including Atago Shrine, Fuji Sengen Shrine, Katori Shrine, Kamakura Bridge, Takano no Watashi Ferry Site, Zencho-ji Temple, Eifuku-ji Temple, Todai-ji Temple Site, Takano Castle Ruins, and Kiko Shrine. Visitors will get a sense of Sugito-shuku's past, when it prospered during the Edo period as a post town on the Nikko Kaido highway and bustled as an intersection of land routes and Tone River water transport. Among the many private residences, there is joy in discovering historical heritage woven into the townscape, such as old storehouses and shrine ginkgo trees. For first-time visitors and those wanting to explore the history in greater depth, the guide's explanations will provide a valuable experience. The participation fee is 200 yen (including insurance), and capacity is limited to 15 people.
