Nakasendo is an ancient highway located in Nakatsugawa, Japan. The road was built in 1604, during the Edo period, to connect Tokyo with Kyoto. It is a beautiful winding path that goes through the mountains and forests of central Japan. There are many historical sites and famous post towns along the road, making it a popular destination for tourists. One of the most picturesque post towns is Magome-juku, with its traditional wooden buildings and cobblestone streets. Tsumago-juku, another post town, is particularly stunning with its thatched-roof homes and shops. The path is well-preserved and filled with cedar trees, stone pavements, and even mountain shrines. Not only can visitors stroll along the old road, they can also enjoy horse-riding, cycling, and trekking. It is a great spot for someone looking to experience traditional Japan in an unforgettable way.
