Ochiai-juku
Ochiai-juku (落合宿, Ochiai-juku) was the forty-fourth of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō. It is located in the present-day city of Nakatsugawa, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The honjin and the sub-honjin, as well as some old street lights, remain from the Edo period.[1] The Honjin were the main rest areas in old post towns and very few remain today.[1] There are ten hills that must be traversed to get to Ochiai-juku from the preceding post town of Magome-juku.[2]

gollark: It's a joke. It probably won't. Not for this reason anyway.
