The Site of the Fukushima-juku Honjin Monument marks the location of the former honjin, an important lodging for feudal lords during the Edo period. While the original building no longer exists, a stone monument and explanatory plaque stand near the Kiso Town Cultural Exchange Center, providing insight into the honjin's layout and significance. Located in the heart of Kiso Fukushima, it's a quick stop to learn about the area's history as a key post town along the Nakasendo highway. The monument is easily accessible near the tourist information center and library. Best time to visit is anytime during the day to read the information plaque.
