*''Japanese'': [[淀]] 宿 ''(Yodo juku)''
Yodo-juku was a [[post-station]] along the extension of the [[Tokaido|Tôkaidô]] highway linking [[Kyoto]] and [[Osaka]]. Closely associated with [[Yodo castle]], it was located near the confluence of the [[Kizugawa]], [[Ujigawa]], and [[Katsuragawa]] rivers, to the south of [[Fushimi]]. The post-town was home to some 2800 people at its peak, and over 830 buildings, of which sixteen were ''[[hatago]]'' inns. There was no ''[[honjin]]''.
==History==
Yodo (at that time known as Yodo-tsu 与等津) served as a notable river port in the [[Heian period]], serving the imperial capital of [[Heian-kyo|Heian-kyô]] prior to the development of the port of Fushimi and the associated [[Fushimi castle]]. In the [[Kamakura period]], it came to be a center of fishing and of the selling of salted fish; numerous ''[[toiya]]'' warehouses associated with the salted fish business popped up. Because of its location at the confluence of three rivers, this area was always a major hub of travel and trade.
