Stone marker where Mieji-juku was located
Mieji-juku (美江寺宿, Mieji-juku) was the fifty-fifth of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō. It is located in the present-day city of Mizuho, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. This post town received its name from Mie-ji, a temple which was located in Mizuho during the Edo period. Saitō Dōsan, during his reign of power, moved the entire temple to the present-day city of Gifu.[1][2][3]
