In 1698, a posting station was established in a portion of the second residence of the Shinshu Takato Clan Naito family, and was named "Shinjuku" (new posting station) compared to the existing posting station at Takaidojuku. The Koshu-kaido Road also served a role as an industrial road, and horse droppings were conspicuous.
