Seki-juku is a historic town in Mie Prefecture and the 47th post town on Tokaido road. The post town still contains nearly 200 townhouses from the Edo Era and has been selected as a nationally important preservation district.

Tokaido road was the most important route in Edo-era Japan as it linked Kyoto, the imperial capital, with Edo, the seat of the shogunate. Seki-juku was one of the most important post towns along the Tokaido road as it served as one of the three major checkpoints (along with Fuwa-juku in Mino Province and Awatari-juku in Echizen Province) where shogunate officials inspected travelers and goods.

While many post towns on the Tokaido have modernized, Seki-juku still retains the atmosphere of the Edo era. Here you can enter several traditional inns and merchant houses along the 1.8 km main street that have been well-preserved. 

From Nagoya Station, Seki-juku can be reached in about 90 minutes by train.
