was the twenty-ninth of the fifty-three stations (shukuba) of the Tà Âkaidà Â. It is located in what is now Hamamatsu's Chà «à Â-ku in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.
During the Tenpà  era (1830âÂÂ1844), Hamamatsu-juku was located in Hamamatsu Castle's castle town. At the time, there were six honjin and 94 hatago for travelers to use, making it the largest post station in Tà Âtà Âmi and Suruga provinces. At the time, it was located on the right bank of the Tenryà « River, but, over time, the river's course changed, so the post station is now approximately six kilometers from the river's edge.
The classic ukiyo-e print by Andà  Hiroshige (Hà Âeidà  edition) from 1831âÂÂ1834 depicts a rural scene with Hamamatsu Castle and the town in the far distance. A group of peasants are warming themselves by a bonfire, with a traveler looking on.
