Kambara-shuku was the 15th post station on the Tokaido Road, and its town layout has remained unchanged since it was moved to its current location in 1701 to avoid high waves. The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido: Evening Snow at Kambara, an ukiyo-e masterpiece by Utagawa Hiroshige, leaves us with a mysteriously snowy landscape in this land of mild climate. It is the only area in Shizuoka Prefecture certified as a "historic national highway", and the right-angled bend in the narrow road, the namako wall patterns, and characteristic folk houses are all strong reminders of the Edo period (1603 - 1868).
