Visiting Tsumago-juku in Nagano, Japan, felt like stepping into a living history book. This beautifully preserved post town, part of the historic Nakasendo Trail connecting Kyoto and Tokyo during the Edo period, showcases traditional wooden inns, cobblestone streets, and quaint shops that have retained their old-world charm. Walking through the town, I could imagine travelers from centuries ago resting here on their long journey. The highlight was hiking the scenic trail to nearby Magome, surrounded by lush forests and peaceful landscapes, which made the experience even more immersive. Tsumago-juku offers a serene glimpse into Japan’s past, perfect for anyone seeking history, culture, and nature all in one picturesque location.
