    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."

Nagano Areas

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.
