Terakoya for Natural Science Chiryu city in Aichi Prefecture was the 39th of the Fifty-three post-towns of Tokaido. The site is along the old Tokaido Street where Honjin (officially appointed inn) was once positioned. It is fair to say that it is the center of the town in terms of local history. Based on such historical importance, a Chiryu-based global robot manufacturing company decided to purchase this ownerless land and make a facility for regional contribution.
