was the thirty-fourth of the fifty-three stations of the Tà Âkaidà Â. It is located in the center of what is now the city of Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It was from the start of the route in Edo's Nihonbashi and from Futagawa-juku to the east and from Goyu-shuku to the west.
Yoshida-juku was established in 1601 as a post station within the castle town surrounding Yoshida Castle, an important feudal domain and port town in Mikawa Province. Yoshida had a bridge which crossed the Toyokawa River. This was one of the few bridges permitted on the Tà Âkaidà  by the Tokugawa shogunate. One the larger post stations on the Tà Âkaidà Â, it stretched for 2.6 kilometers along the highway, and in a census taken in 1802, there were two honjin, one waki-honjin and 65 hatago to serve the travelers. The town as a whole consisted of approximately 1,000 buildings and had a population of 5,000 to 7,000 people. As with neighboring Goyu-shuku and Fukagawa-juku, it had a reputation for its meshimori onna.
The classic ukiyo-e print by Andà  Hiroshige (Hà Âeidà  edition) from 1831âÂÂ1834 depicts the famous bridge at Yoshida, as well as Yoshida Castle.
