History

Nojiri-juku was the longest post town along the Kisoji, after Narai-juku.[1] Because of all the turns in the road, though, it was often called "Nana-mawari (七回り)," which means "seven turns." However, there was a large fire in 1791, which destroyed much of the post town.

gollark: As well as being dubiously faster, it's a good compilation target.
