熊川宿

Site of Kumagawa-juku Magistrate’s Office
Scenic and Historic Locations
This site was once occupied by an administrative compound where civil affairs related to governing the Kumagawa area and the Obama domain were handled. The first administrative buildings were constructed during the rule of Kyogoku Takatsugu (1563–1609), the first lord of the Obama domain, and under Sakai Tadakatsu (1587–1662) it became the magistrate’s office. The buildings were demolished in 1871, when the domain system was abolished by the Meiji government. At present, the site contains a traditional processing plant making starch from kudzu (Japanese arrowroot) and a small water-filled habitat for the rare Genji fireflies.
