Fukaya-shuku

Fukaya-shuku (深谷宿, Fukaya-shuku^?) was the ninth of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō highway connecting Edo with Kyoto during the Edo period It was located in the present-day city of Fukaya, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

Unlike many of the post towns that existed during the Edo period before the creation of the Nakasendō, Fukaya-shuku was established to be a part of the Nakasendō. During the Sengoku period, it was home to Fukaya Castle, belonging to the Uesugi clan, and near the post station was the jin'ya of Okabe Domain, a 20,000 koku holding under the Tokugawa shogunate

Per a 1843 guidebook issued by the Inspector of Highways (道中奉行, Dōchu-būgyō^?), the town had one honjin, four waki-honjin, and 80 hatago, with a population of 1928 persons.
