Site of Kitagange

Original Text

From the instruction manual, the staircase pier is called Ganegi. Travelers in the Edo period crossed Maisaka-juku ～ Niijuku by boat. You can feel the remnants of that time.

Original Text

Ganki was a shipping place when he was crossing Hamana Lake, and the end of the old Tokaido was used by ordinary travelers in Honganki, and there was a South Ganki in the south of ４０ M and it seems that it was used for loading luggage. Kitagangi is located about ４０ M north of Hongangi, and is the most magnificent pier. It seems that the official officials of the daimyo shogunate used it. I think it is a place where I can imagine the feeling when I was crossing to Arai juku by boat.

I think there are very few people who can read "Kitagange". He said he crossed the Niijuku by boat from here. However, it seems that only those with great status could use this. The color changes because the collapsed stone walls have been rebuilt.

古くはお船で宿場町を往来していました

「北雁木(きたがんげ)」をご存じですか？弁天島駅から徒歩10分ほどの幕府公用役人用の船場で、当時は舞坂宿と新井宿を往復していたそうです。石碑が立っていて、その横には案内板もあって東海道五十三次の宿場町として知られる舞阪宿の史跡。身分の高い人と庶民の船着き場は分かれていて、ここは石畳が海へと続いている斜面になっています。

渡船場

東海道の宿場町舞阪を通り過ぎると、浜名湖のほとりに行き止まります。 昔はここから先は、船で渡るしか方法がなく、舟渡場となっていました。 そのなかでも、身分の高い人が乗り降りしたのがこの北雁木です。 岩場の坂道と常夜灯に石垣が、昔を伝えてくれています。
