Hosokute-juku


Hosokute-juku (細久手宿 Hosokute-juku?) was the forty-eighth of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō during the Edo period and it is located in the present-day city of Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.

Located in the Owari clan's domain, Hosokute-juku was established as a mountaintop post town in 1610. The route between the two neighboring post towns, Ōkute-juku and Mitake-juku, was long and difficult, so the town was built up as a resting point between the two places. It contains the family temple of the Toki clan, Mino Province's guardian.
