Ukiyo-e Guide to Fujisawa-shuku and Enoshima Road: History of Pilgrimage and Sightseeing

Exhibition Contents

Fujisawa-shuku, one of the post stations along the Tōkaidō highway, served not only as a spot for denma (horse relay system) and logistics, but also as a tourist hotspot. Enoshima Road, which connects Fujisawa-shuku to the Enoshima pilgrimage, was full of tourists. Over time, Enoshima became a beautiful and picturesque destination, known for its unique terrain and a spot where one can enjoy a great view of Mt. Fuji. This exhibition explores the history of Fujisawa-shuku and Enoshima through ukiyo-e prints, pictorial maps, and photos capturing Fujisawa-shuku and the Enoshima pilgrimage.
