Seki was the forty-seventh of the fifty-three stations of the Tokaido, and it is the only one of them where the street survives. About two hundred townhouses from the Edo and Meiji periods stand along 1.8 kilometres between the eastern and western junctions, and the district is nationally designated for preservation.

What is unusual is that it is not a museum street. People live in these houses, the shops sell to residents, and there are no overhead cables because they were buried during the preservation work — which is why photographs of it look implausibly clean. Buildings open to visitors include the Tamaya inn, restored as a museum of Tokaido travel, and the Hyakurokuri teahouse. The street is free and the car parks are free.

인사이더 가이드

**It is the only surviving Tokaido station.** Fifty-three of them; the street survives at one. That is the reason to come rather than the individual buildings. **The cables are buried.** Which is why the sightlines are clean and why photographs of it look staged. It was a deliberate part of the preservation work. **People live here.** The houses are homes and the shops serve residents. Behave accordingly and do not photograph into doorways. **Go into Tamaya.** The restored inn is now a museum of Tokaido travel and explains what a station town actually did. **Five minutes from the station.** Seki is on the JR Kansai Line and the walk from the platform puts you at the end of the street.
