Depiction of the Biwajima Bashi with Nagoya Castle in the background] (from the Owari meisho zue)
Nagoya-juku was established as a castle town for nearby Nagoya Castle by the Owari Domain in 1613, but it had neither honjin nor sub-honjin at that time. Because it was located on the Minoji, it was connected to both the Nakasendō and the Tōkaidō, both of which were important trade routes at the time.
