Originally, various characters were used for Nissaka, including å ¥åÂÂ, 西å and æ°åÂÂ, as it had been nothing more than a small town located between Kanaya-juku on the banks of the à Âi River and Kakegawa-juku, a castle town that was an intersection along an old salt trading route. When Nissaka-shuku was established as part of the Tà Âkaidà  at the start of the Edo period, the characters for its name officially became æÂ¥åÂÂ.
The classic ukiyo-e print by Andà  Hiroshige (Hà Âeidà  edition) from 1831âÂÂ1834 depicts travellers on a steep road in forbidding dark mountains contemplating a large boulder in the road. The stone was a noted landmark on Tà Âkaidà  called the "Night weeping stone". According to legend, the bandits attacked and murdered a pregnant woman on this spot. After she died, a passing priest heard the stone call out for him to rescue the surviving infant.
The Tà Âkaidà  Main Line railroad, established during the Meiji period, was built to avoid the difficult pass and, as a result, the fortunes of Nissaka-shuku began to fall. It began to prosper again when Route 1 was rebuilt after World War II, with the new route running through Nissaka.
In 1955, the village of Nissaka in Ogasa District merged with the neighboring city of Kakegawa.
