Shichikashuku Kaido

This Edo-period highway passes through what is today Shichikashuku Town, Katta County. The area became known as Shichikashuku because there were seven shukuba (post stations) along the highway, which was the major thoroughfare between the Oshu Highway and the Dewa Highway at the time. Every August an event called “Waraji de Aruko Shichikashuku” in which participants walk the highway in straw sandals is organized.
