Nagiso

Nagiso lies in the Kiso Valley along the Kiso River, where densely forested mountains enclose a narrow corridor through southwestern Nagano Prefecture. The town is best known for Tsumago-juku, a carefully preserved post station on the Nakasendō, the Edo-period highway that linked Kyoto and Edo. Its low wooden houses, stone-lined lanes and former inns recall the era when travellers and goods moved on foot between the imperial capital and the shogun’s seat. Nagiso’s setting also places it near the old route’s mountain sections, making it a useful stop for those following the Nakasendō between historic towns.
