A perfect row of pine trees paint a picture of one of the Edo period's post towns

The Old Tokaido Road was once full of post towns, or midway stops along the historic route. Between the former Akasaka Post Town and Goyu Post Town is a 600-meter-long row of some 300 gigantic pine trees. In 1604, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the famous unifier of Japan, declared these Japanese Black Pines a national natural monument.
Goyu Post Town was the 35th of the 53 post towns along the Tokaido Road and prospered as travelers stopped along the way of their travels. An antique townscape in which four honjin inns—accommodations approved for daimyos and ruling individuals—still stands today where the pine row is, offering a view into Japan's historical past.
At the Goyu Pine Tree Row Museum, you can look upon more than 100 rare and educational materials about the road of pines as well as dioramas of Goyu Post Town's townscape during the Edo period, Ukiyo-e prints by famous artist Hiroshige, modern-day transpiration documents, the garb worn by travelers of yesteryear, and more.
