This study focuses on the Edo period's water transportation facilities called Okura-tokoro owned and operated by a domain. The purpose of this research is to explicate the spatial structure and its functional meanings of the Shiokawa Okura-tokoro that was the main Okura-tokoro in the Aizu domain. The analysis shows that Shiokawa Okura-tokoro consists of two kinds of okura-tokoro, partially common and partially different in the aspect of spatial structures. A further discussion is made on its meaning also.
