Narai Juku

#summervacay

Narai‑juku – a beautifully preserved post‑town on the historic Nakasendō in Nagano Prefecture. Once the 34th station on the Nakasendō and 2nd on the Kisoji, this town flourished as "Narai of 1,000 buildings" due to its position before the Torii Pass .

Step back in time: strolling its quiet cobbled main street feels like walking into historic Japan. Stay in a classic ryokan or minshuku: many are former merchant homes offering tatami rooms, local food, and tranquil garden or spring‑fed baths .
