Mariko-juku was one of the smallest post stations on the Tōkaidō.[1] Old row-houses from the Edo period can be found between Mariko-juku and Okabe-juku, its neighboring post station, in Utsuinotani. This post town also had strong ties to the Minamoto, Imagawa and Tokugawa clans.
The classic ukiyo-e print by Andō Hiroshige (Hōeidō edition) from 1831–1834 depicts two travellers at a wayside restaurant which name is Chouji-ya(丁子屋), it is noted for Tororo-Jiru (gratedjapanese yam soup) and founded in 1596, from which another traveller has just departed.
