History

Mariko-juku was one of the smallest post stations on the Tōkaidō.[1] Old row-houses from the Edo period can be found between Mariko-juku and Okabe-juku, its neighboring post station, in Utsuinotani. This post town also had strong ties to the Minamoto, Imagawa and Tokugawa clans.

The classic ukiyoe print by Ando Hiroshige (Hoeido edition) from 1831-1834 depicts two travellers at a wayside teahouse, from which another traveller has just departed.
