- NAME -
When you write "Kameyama" in Japanese,
"Kame" represents the word "tortoise" and "Yama" represents the word "mountain".
The tortoise mountain.... ?
There are several reasons why it was named like so.
The strongest reason is...
（神の住む山）the MOUNTAIN where the GOD (= KAMI) live>>>>
>>>>（神山）the GOD MOUNTAIN (kami yama) >>> Kame yama
- HISTORY-
There are TOKAIDO which was a main road in Edo period from Tokyo to Kyoto
and there are 2 Shukuba-machi (town station with inns) in Kameyama.
Kameyama-juku and Seki-juku.
Kameyama Juku is the 46th town station.
It was 2.5km long and it was said to be quite gorgeous because Kameyama juku had the meaning of the Kameyama Castle's castle city as well.
Seki juku is the 47th town station.
It is 1.6km long and still remains more than 200 of old houses, factories and stores along the street.
