was the fifth of the fifty-three stations (shukuba) of the Tà Âkaidà Â. It was the easternmost post station in Sagami Province. It is now located in Totsuka-ku in the present-day city of Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
Because Totsuka-juku was approximately one day's journey from Nihonbashi, it was a very common resting place for travelers at the start of the journey and the largest post station after Odawara-juku. Because of its size, there were two honjin in the post station as well, one belonging to the Sawabe family (澤辺) and the other belonging to the Uchida family (å ç°). Another reason for Totsuka-juku being so large was that it was also the intersection of Kamakura Kaidà  and the Atsugi Kaidà Â. A distance marker can now be found in both Shinano-chà  and Totsuka-chà Â.
During the Bakumatsu period, when Commodore Matthew C. Perry arrived in Uraga Harbor with his Black Ships, many frightened citizens fled to Totsuka-juku.
The classic ukiyo-e print by Andà  Hiroshige (Hà Âeidà  edition) from 1831âÂÂ1834 depicts a traveler (one dismounting from a horse), entering into a tea-house. In the background, a wooden bridge leads across a stream to what appears to be a sizeable settlement.
There was a senryà « named after Tostuka-juku:
This senryà « is a parody of a Noh story called Hachi no Ki () and references to the geography surrounding Totsuka-juku.
