auto-translate "Honjin Remains" (Kumagaya City designated cultural property historic site) Designated on November 3, 1945 Honjin was established in the early Edo period in the 12th year of Kanei (1635), and a system of change of attendance for various daimyo was established. It is a resting place located in the post town of each highway. It is also a special inn for various daimyo, shogunate officials, and aristocrats of the Kuge family, and it can be set up between the gate, the entrance, and the upper tier, distinguishing it from ordinary inns such as Hatagoya. In addition, the owners who were in charge of the main camp were often allowed to use the name band swords at the landlords. Of the main camps in Kumagai-juku, "Takei Honjin" was located at the western end of Honmachi 1-chome, on the south side of the highway. With a site of 1600 tsubo, a floor area of 700 tsubo, and 47 rooms, it was one of the largest headquarters in Japan. However, it was lost due to the fire in the Meiji era and the air raid on the eve of the end of the war, and now only the remains of the main camp are left. To the west of Honjin, there is the city-designated scenic spot "Seikeien," which was the Takei Honjin villa, and conveys the remnants of that time. March 2007 Kumagaya City Board of Education
