    Nagano Kiso-gun Okuwamura Suhara
    The inn was originally built in the Warring States Period and moved to its current location in 1717 after it was damaged by flooding, making it the newest inn on the Nakasendo Highway.

    須原宿は水船の里で、奈良井、馬籠、妻籠宿に比べて見どころはないです。昔の宿場の面影はあります。ほかの宿に比べて国道沿いはお店が多いです。

    Nagano Kiso-gun Nagiso Machi Azuma Tsumagoshuku
    The road is located in Agatsuma, Minami-Kiso Town, Kiso-gun, and has been selected as a national Important Preservation District for Traditional Buildings. The remains of this road are still preserved today, allowing visitors to catch a glimpse of what remains of those days.

    「枡形」というのは、宿場の防御のための施設です。街道を2度直角に曲げて、外敵が浸入しにくいようにつくられたものです。その跡が、妻籠宿のほぼ中心部にありました。 道は、鋭く直角には曲がっていませんが、大きく湾曲しています。メインの通りの少し離れた横に側道のようにもう一本の道が通っています。宿場を守る、大事な施設だったんですね。

  • Otsumago
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagano Pref. Kisogunnagisomachi Aduma
    "A section of Kiso Town, Kiso County, Nagano Prefecture situated along the old Nakasendo Highway now designated as the Tsumago Post Town Preservation District. The road is lined with many old homes built in the ""dashibari-zukuri"" style with ""sode-udatsu"" short pillars supporting the roof. Japanese-style bed and breakfasts are also located nearby, and the area is enwrapped in a tranquil, rural atmosphere. As the Nakasendo continues towards Magome-juku and goes beyond Kudaritani, human dwellings peter out, and the highway turns into a mountain road."

  • Magome Pass Village
    Travel / Tourism
    Gifu Nakatsugawa-shi Magome
    The name of a village along the Nakasendo Road connecting Tsumago and Magome inns, located on the Magome side of Magome Pass at an elevation of 790 m. Until the Edo period, many people who lived in the village used oxen to transport goods, and the village was crowded with people called "Ushikata" (cattlemen). Even today, about 20 houses still stand side by side, and many people stop by on their way to hike over Magome Pass.
  • Narai Kiso Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagano Shiojiri-shi Narai 1346-3
    A traditional Japanese arched bridge spanning the clear Narai River in Narai-juku, Shiojiri City. The beautiful bridge is made entirely of hinoki cypress and is one of the largest of its kind not using bridge piers in Japan. Today, the bridge connects National Route 19 (the Nakasendo Road) and Narai-juku. The complex structure of the arching bridge pairs well with the surrounding townscape, which still looks much as it did in the Edo period. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, a lush riverside park and expansive grass lawn park are also located nearby. The bridge is lit up at night from early April to late November, enabling visitors to enjoy a fairytale-like aspect of the bridge which contrasts with its daytime majesty.

  • Kisohirasawa
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagano Shiojiri-shi Kisohirasawa
    This town, located in the center of Nagano Prefecture, developed on the large curve of the Narai River's flood plain in the south-central part of what is now Shiojiri City crisscrossed by the river and the Nakasendo Road. People have lived in the region since ancient times, but it began being maintained as a part of the Nakasendo Road by the Tokugawa shogunate government in 1602. The many highly distinctive buildings in the area speak of its history as a center for lacquer work. The town's main street is occupied by many store buildings and is connected directly to the Kinsai-cho neighborhood where artisans gathered, resulting in a townscape deeply colored by a history as a location where the entire lacquer work process, from production to sale, was conducted.

  • Momosuke Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagano Pref. Kisogunnagisomachi Yomikaki
    A bridge spanning the Kiso River situated along the Nakasendo Highway in Yomikaki, Nagiso Town, Kiso County. The bridge was built in 1922 to transport material to build a hydroelectric power plant. Thereafter, the bridge was used by local residents, eventually falling into disrepair and almost being demolished due to age. The bridge, however, was recognized as an important piece of heritage from Japan's modernization period and was restored to its former glory. The surrounding area is maintained as a park.

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
