This is a pamphlet I wrote in 1991, revised and enhanced.
It was a study of then published software named "PageMaker".
I found .txt formatted files for "History", "01Central Area" and "02Sanaruko" in my HD.
Other files were saved in .pmd and there is no way to open them. I shall replace them with newer findings.
I will try to write them after Ando Hiroshige's "53 stations along Tokaido". People in older ages have no way than walk on their foot and this brings you of so many things than go on cars or shinkansen. If you walk on your feet, there are so many findings about what has changed from Hiroshige days and what don't change.
I feel happy if you copy and use it freely as a part or whole. I owe no responsibity from it's quotation.

Map showing 9th century Hamanako. Caption read: "Yoshidu:Port of leeds-Washidu today". To the north is "okazaki" at top left. IKEYA Noriyuki, Shizuoka Univ.
Inohana means "projecting long forward like a hog". This may mean Takashiyama projecting long eastward reching Hashimoto. Hashimoto horse station itself may be called "Inohana Station".
There are some other way to reach Hamanako from Futagawa horse Station. One of them goes down the hill from Okazaki to Shinjo reaching Mekawa Jinja at the landsend.
Some of the Buddhist tenples around this route warshipping Batoh Kannon, sometimes with head of a horse.
Mekawa Jinja at the end of the high street meets Hamanako, has a festival of Yabusame:archery on horseback. Adult do the ordinary Yabusame just like that in Kamakura or somewhere. Here, elementary school boys and girls ride sacred horses.
Girls only worship the shrine on a horse back.
Boys have to trot on horseback and it sometimes gallop.
Here in the westside of Hamanako seems to have a horse cultural inheritance, vanished in the east side. This may be derived from a larger transportation life connecting Mikawa:eastern aichi prefecture linking Inadani in southern Shinshu, today's Nagano prefecture.
This has been the mainroute connecting Enshu to Shinshu because the route along Tenryu gawa is surrounded with too steep mountains.
There are three Tara in Shinjo along the high street and the little hill between them looks like noting but kohun:tumulus. No excurvation had not yet done and nothing is known for now.
You'll come to Myoryuji at west from city office of Kosai. Here is tomb of Toyota founder's father.
Opposit to the east from the city office sits Honkoji.
Honkoji is famous for the painting by TANI Buncho. You have to turn at the entrance by wall blocking the sight.
To the south from city office is the Toyota house, founder's birthplace.
