The Nakayama Ancient Road is one of the five major transportation routes developed in Japan during the Edo period. Connecting Nihonbashi in Edo (now Tokyo) and Sanjo Street in Kyoto. This ancient road is also called "Nakasendo", "Nakasendo", "Kiso Street", and "Kuzo Road". The total length is 507.7 km, spanning Tokyo, Saitama Prefecture, Gunma Prefecture, Nagano Prefecture, Gifu Prefecture, Shiga Prefecture and Kyoto Prefecture. There are 67 sleeping quarters (called inns in Chinese) in the middle. Among them, Naarai-juku, Tsumago-juku, Magome-juku, Akei-juku, and Kusatsu-juku are the most popular inns. I went to Narai-juku a few years ago, and this time I specially came to Magome-juku. Although the weather was unfavorable and it was raining, it did not affect the interest in traveling. Walking on the ancient streets felt like returning to the distant ancient times. Here are six photos for your reference.
