4th Station: Hodogaya

History
Hodogaya changed a lot and the spot Hiroshige drew isn't what it used to be in the Edo era. However, the Hodoyaya honjin or officially appointed inn and several old houses still remain. There has been a long and "deadly" slope called "Gonta-zaka" (now it became a somewhat gentle slope) in Hodogaya, and in fact, many travelers lost their lives on this slope.
