- Japanese: 藤沢市 (Fujisawa-shi)
Fujisawa is a city in Kanagawa prefecture (formerly Sagami province), located on the coast south of Kamakura; the sacred island of Enoshima lies just off the coast. In the Edo period, the area was home to Fujisawa-juku, of the fifty-three post-stations (shukuba) of the Tôkaidô Highway.
The major Kamakura temple Gokuraku-ji (Kamakura) was originally established in Fujisawa in 1113, before being moved to its current location in Kamakura in 1259.[1]
At its peak in 1798, Fujisawa-juku was home to some 808 residences, housing 3,380 people. This included a few tens of meshimori onna or other types of prostitutes.[2]
