Suhara-juku was the thirty-ninth of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō, as well as the seventh of eleven stations on the Kisoji.
Of all of the post towns along the Kisoji, Suhara was the first one to be established, though originally at a different location. After the town was washed away by a major flood in 1717, it was moved to its present location.

中山道39番目の宿場町須原は、木曽路の宿場の中で最も最初に開かれた宿場であると伝えられています。今では、街道筋に設けられたいくつかの水舟のせせらぎの水の音が、静寂とした集落にひびきわたっていました。
