*''Japanese'': 鳴海宿 ''(Narumi juku)''

Narumi-juku was a [[post-station]] town located a short distance from [[Atsuta Shrine]] in [[Nagoya]]. The 40th of the 53 stations of the [[Tokaido|Tôkaidô]], Narumi was home to one of the largest ''[[honjin]]'' on the entire highway, at 676.5 ''[[Japanese Measurements|tsubo]]''.<ref>Miyamoto Tsuneichi 宮本常一, ''Nihon no shuku'' 日本の宿, Tokyo: Shakai shisôsha (1965), 168-169.</ref>

Prior to the [[Edo period]], the area of Narumi was the site of [[Narumi castle]] (aka Negoya castle). It is believed to have been demolished around [[1573]].<ref>Plaques on-site.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/46302162881/sizes/h/]</ref>

During the Edo period, Narumi was one terminus of the [[Chosenjin kaido|Chôsenjin kaidô]], the elite route connecting [[Otsu|Ôtsu]] and Narumi, the use of which was restricted to [[Korean embassies to Edo]] and the shogun himself.<ref>Nam-Lin Hur, "A Korean Envoy Encounters Tokugawa Japan: Shin Yuhan and the Korean Embassy of 1719," Bunmei 21 no. 4 (Aichi University, 2000), 71-72n3.; Toby, Ronald. “Carnival of the Aliens: Korean Embassies in Edo-Period Art and Popular Culture.” Monumenta Nipponica 41:4 (Winter 1986). pp 420-421n.</ref>

The post-station was also home to the [[Zen]] temple [[Zuisen-ji (Nagoya)|Zuisen-ji]].
