Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

3.0

This museum is located in the middle of Nakatsugawa-juku, the 45th post town on the Nakasendo Highway from Edo (present-day Tokyo). It exhibits a lot of items such as historical documents about Nakatsugawa, ancient documents, and valuable materials regarding people throughout the end of the Edo period (1603-1868). Nakatsugawa has long played an important role as a point of contact with Kisoji and between Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. Documents on the bridesmaid processions of Kazunomiya discovered from the old house in Nakatsugawa-juku, and the comings and goings of the Tengu Party have been collected and preserved. In addition, there are documents that tell the secret story of the important event called the Satcho Alliance during the end of the Edo period, and it is possible to observe them all. There are also tours available from Nakatsugawa-juku to Ochiai-juku and Magome-juku.

歴史好きにはおもしろいけど…

今どきな感じのビジュアル系資料館ではなく、昔ながらの資料を並べただけの資料館です。ゆえに、歴史好き、文学好きの方でないとなかなかその面白さはわからなかなと思います。
外装工事中

栗きんとんで有名なすやと川上屋の中間点にあります。桂小五郎の隠れ家跡があったり、歴史的に重要な場所であった事がわかります。展示物から東海道ではなく中山道が、皇族やヒトモノの行き来の中心であった事がわかります。今は外装工事中で寂しい姿です。
和宮降嫁の時の様子とかがわかりました

和宮の行列が中山道を通ったこととか、その行列が非常に長かったこととかがよくわかるように説明されていてなかなか良かったです。
