The trail between Magome and Tsumago is a well-maintained section of the former Nakasendo, the route that ran along the Kiso Valley and connected Tokyo with Kyoto during the Edo Period.

Stop At: Nagisomachi Museum (Tsumagojuku Honjin), 2190 Azuma, Nagiso-machi, Kiso-gun 399-5302 Nagano Prefecture
Tsumago is Japan’s first post town to preserve its district, creating an area that has seemingly stopped in time 400 years ago.
