To Naraijuku in Nagano. Naraijuku is located on the Nakasendo road, a highway connecting Tokyo (Edo) and Kyoto.

Many travelers rarely include Naraijuku in their plans when planning their trips to Nagoya and surrounding attractions. In fact, Naraijuku is a small town located between Kiso Fukushima and Matsumoto Station. In ancient times, it was one of the "11 Kiso Road Posts" along the Nakasendo Road connecting Edo and Kyoto. Therefore, visiting the area can allow you to experience the Edo culture and historical style. Naraijuku is mainly composed of one street, with neat and antique wooden buildings on both sides, which gives it a very nostalgic feel. The buildings are all accommodations, restaurants and gift shops. You can buy the famous wooden products, dried flowers, lacquerware, etc. here, and you can also try the chewy and delicious five-layer cakes. Walking along the street for about one kilometer, there are six roadside wells. When you come across one, you can scoop up a mouthful of well water to drink, which is clear and cool. Compared to Kyoto, which is crowded with people and full of commercial elements, I believe Narai is more simple and traditional. I recommend that you wear a kimono and stroll around and check in in this remote Narai-juku in a relaxed manner! #JapanTravel #Edo Period #Must-visit spots for taking kimono photos #Leisurely #Good place to check in
