Nakasendo Magome-juku
Magome-juku – A Time Traveler’s Gateway Start your journey in Magome-juku, a beautifully preserved post town once bustling with merchants and warriors. Stroll cobbled paths past traditional wooden inns and spinning waterwheels, and feel history beneath your feet. Breathe in the scent of grilled mochi, hear the creak of old floorboards, and look out across the rolling Kiso Valley—just as Edo-period travelers once did.

With every bite, you taste tradition. Dine like a traveling poet or a weary samurai, surrounded by the rustic charm of an old mountain village.
