    Gifu Nakatsugawa-shi Honmachi
    The 45th post town on the Nakasendo Highway, it retains its atmosphere from the Edo period (1603-1868). A town that once flourished as the foremost commercial town in the Tono region, you can feel its vibrancy from that time. Behind the Nakasendo Historical Museum is the Wakihonjin, and the world beyond its gates is a must-see. There are many tourists who take commemorative photos here because the space between the storehouse and the upper level is open to the public. The well installed at Honjin Square is a popular spot because it can still pull water.

Tucked away in the very center of Japan, Gifu prefecture houses mountains, old towns, and one of Japan’s greatest hot springs, Gero Onsen. A tour of the prefecture’s traditional architecture will take you from the mountain-enveloped wooden streets of Takayama to the mountain village of Shirakawago, where visitors can explore 250-year-old thatched roofed houses known as gassho-zukuri.
