Kusatsu
Description
Kusatsu is the fifty-second station on the Tōkaidō, at the south-eastern corner of Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. Another major road, the Nakasendō, which ran from Edo to Kyōto through the mountains, joined the Tōkaidō here, forming a single road the rest of the way to Kyōto. This made Kusatsu one of the busiest stations on the Tōkaidō.
