Ai no Shuku
Ai no shuku (intermediate area) are intermediate rest areas along Japan's historical routes. Because they are not official post stations, normal travelers were generally not allowed to stay at them. Here are some of the ai no shuku along the Nakasendō:
Fukiage-shuku, between Kōnosu-juku and Kumagai-juku (Kōnosu, Saitama Prefecture)
Motai-shuku, between Mochizuki-shuku and Ashida-shuku (Saku, Nagano Prefecture)
Shinkanō-juku, between Unuma-juku and Kanō-juku (Kakamigahara, Gifu Prefecture)
