This area, affectionately known as the “Silk Road,” was once called the“Hamakaido” or “coastline road.” It wasused to transport silk manufactured in theHachioji area as well as from Nagano,
Yamanashi, Gunma, etc. for export. The
site stretches approximately 1.5 kilometersfrom Gotenbashi to the Silk Road
Memorial Stone, of which approximately
one kilometer is unpaved. Because thearea remains much as it was historically, it
has been selected as one of the Cultural
Affairs Agency’s top 100 historic roads.

are on exhibit. The remains of Yagishita Yoemon’s house, who was asilk merchant, is located here.
