*''Japanese'': 牛窓 ''(Ushimado)''
Ushimado was a major [[Inland Sea]] port town in [[Okayama han]], which regularly saw ''[[kitamaebune]]'' merchant ships, ''daimyô'' fleets on ''[[sankin kotai|sankin kôtai]]'' journeys, and [[VOC|Dutch]], [[Ryukyuan embassies to Edo|Ryukyuan]], and [[Korean embassies to Edo]], as well as more everyday traffic. Ushimado was also the chief departure point for pilgrims seeking to sail from Honshû to Shikoku to visit [[Konpira Shrine]]. Ushimado is today part of Setouchi City, [[Okayama prefecture]].
Okayama han maintained a ''chaya'' ("teahouse") in the town which served the function of a ''[[honjin]]'', providing lodgings for ''daimyô'', shogunate officials, foreign envoys, and the like who passed through the town.
