Honjo

Few cities in Saitama Prefecture have a history as closely tied to the Nakasendo highway as Honjo. Set on the Kantō Plain, the city reaches the Tone River along its northern side, where Saitama borders Gunma Prefecture. During the Edo period, Honjo-juku was a post station on the Nakasendo, the major route connecting Edo and Kyoto, and its passing traffic supported inns and trade. Today, Honjo-Waseda Station links the city to the Joetsu and Hokuriku Shinkansen lines. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Honjo and the Tone River corridor.
