Okoshi-juku (起宿, Okoshi-juku) was the sixth of nine post stations along the Minoji. It is located in the present-day city of Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Established on edge of the Kiso River, the post station was also on the border of Mino and Owari provinces.

History[]

When the Joseon missions were traveling through Okoshi-juku, 270 boats were used to create a pontoon bridge 800 m (2,625 ft) meters long.

The ruins of the post station's honjin can still be seen. The honjin's eleventh manager, Katō Isotari (加藤磯足), was a student of the famed scholar Motoori Norinaga.
