Fushimi-juku (Tōkaidō)

Fushimi-juku (伏見宿) was the first station on the Ōsaka Kaidō (or fifty-fourth of the fifty-seven stations of the Tōkaidō). It is located in Fushimi-ku in the present-day city of Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.

History
Fushimi-juku was founded in 1619. It was a successful post station because it also shared the area with the castle town surrounding Fushimi Castle, as well as Fushimi Port on the Yodo River.
