Overview

Throughout the Edo period it was one of the three post stations of Koga — Nakada, Koga and Nogi, the 'Koga sanshuku' — administered by Koga Domain. According to the Nikkō Dōchū Shukuson Taigaichō of 1843 (Tenpō 14), the station had one honjin and one waki-honjin, and 31 hatago inns (5 large, 6 medium and 20 small). The number of families in the house was 1,105 and the population was 3,865. For the shogun's pilgrimages to Nikkō (Nikkō shasan), Koga Castle ranked with Iwatsuki Castle and Utsunomiya Castle as a castle where the shogun lodged, and this was one of the principal stations on the Nikkō Kaidō. On those occasions the attendants were so numerous that they were assigned not only to the usual accommodations but also to the military houses and towns under the castle. Since The post town was located in what is now the main town, Central, and Hijijimachi, along the Nikkō Kaidō, it was also built in T-form because of the development of river traffic on the Watarase River and other rivers. The honjin at which daimyo stayed varied by period, but the best known was the one in Nichōme, where a 'Honjin Site' monument now stands. The waki-honjin was also in Nichōme.

The structure of the town

The character of the town division is that since the main entrance to the old castle is to the north and the west, the river Toyose is to the north and east of the castle. Also, for this reason, castles and residences of high-ranking warriors were in low ground, houses of towns and lower-men were laid on the ground, and had a unique view that could not be seen under other castles. I'll explain the city streets of each individual.
