*''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 [[Tokaido|Tôkaidô]] [[Highways|Highway]].
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.
