History
The post station of Fuchū-juku was also a castle town for Sunpu Castle in the former Suruga Province.[1]
The classic ukiyo-e print by Andō Hiroshige (Hōeidō edition) from 1831 to 1834 depicts travellers crossing the Abe River to the west of the post station. A woman is being carried in a kago, while other people are fording the stream on foot.
