1. Itabashi execution groundsThe Itabashi execution grounds were one of the three sites in the vicinity of Edo where the Tokugawa shogunate executed criminals in the Edo period. Located near Itabashi-shuku, the first post station from Edo on the Nakasendō (a major inland route to Kyoto), it is within the city limits of modern-day Itabashi, Tokyo near JR Itabashi Station. In 1868, Kondo Isami, leader of the Shinsengumi, was jailed for twenty days at Itabashi, and beheaded at the execution grounds.
