This is the 23rd station, Shimada-Jyuku. My wife and I crossed the Oi-gawa river by using a big bridge instead of wading across a river. We went to Shimada-Jyuku form Kanaya-Jyuku. There was an old street named Kawagoe-Iseki-Machinami near the Oigawa river. There were  few  tourists and made it feel like I went into the historical drama. Shimada-Shi museum was next to the embankment. We could know the history of Kawagoe-Ninsoku in considerable detail.
