Impeccably Preserved Nakasendo Post-town

Tsumago-juku is one of the most beautifully preserved post towns on the Nakasendo, offering a vivid glimpse into travel during the Edo period. Once a lively stop for merchants and samurai, the town has been carefully maintained with car-free streets and hidden power lines, creating an atmosphere seemingly untouched by time.
For many travelers, Tsumago is the highlight of the Nakasendo Trail, especially for those walking the scenic Magome–Tsumago route through forests and mountains.
