Ena

Built around Ōi-juku, a post station on the Nakasendō highway, Ena grew into a regional city in southeastern Gifu Prefecture. The Kiso River runs through the northern part of its municipal area, where Ena Gorge is marked by steep, rocky banks. Ōi-juku retains the linear form of an Edo-period highway town, with historic buildings lining its old route. Ena also includes Iwamura, a former castle town where the stone walls of Iwamura Castle rise above the preserved streets below. It is a rewarding place for tracing the Nakasendō and exploring the Kiso River country.
