Tsumago-juku(Nakasendo)

Tsumago-juku, deep in the Kiso Mountains, is the 42nd of 69 post towns on the feudal Tokyo-to-Kyoto Nakasendo Road. As walking down the streets of Tsumago you will feel like you slipped back in time to the Edo period. Many visitors choose to add to the experience by walking the 8 kilometers from here to Magome, the next post town down the road. Many areas along the way have the original stone pavers. Here you can really get a sense of Japan’s feudal history. (Baggage shuttle service between Tsumago and Magome is available.)
