Kiga Checkpoint 気賀関所

A checkpoint from 1601 on the ‘road of the princesses’, rebuilt in 1990.

Kiga Checkpoint was set up in 1601 on the Himekaidō (姫街道, ‘road of the princesses’, the popular name for the Honsaka-dōri): an alternative to the Tōkaidō that avoided the Arai Checkpoint, and which women travellers preferred in order to escape the stricter inspections there. The building you visit today is a 1990 reconstruction.
