A nostalgic hearth that is hard to see now At the Wakihonjin Okutani of Tsumagojuku, you can see the nostalgic fireplace. Moreover, it is only in winter, and on a sunny day, you can see the fantastic light shining into the hearth. I went from Tokyo by highway bus to see only this scenery, but it was quite an emotional scenery. It is a view that I want to keep forever.

When I went to Tsumago-juku, I felt the loneliness of autumn even more when I saw a cute border collie waiting for its owner while squealing lonely.

Today, I would like to introduce Taketaro's post "Tsumagojuku in Nagano Prefecture". It is an impressive photo of a traditional Japanese house illuminated by the shining light. Located in Nagiso Town, Kiso District, Nagano Prefecture, Tsumago-juku is one of the five highways built in the Edo period. While the traditional townscape disappeared with the passage of time, we succeeded in preserving the old townscape for the first time in Japan. In recognition of these efforts, it was 1976 Showa 51 selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. The Terashita area, where the townscape preservation activities were first carried out, can be said to be the origin of Tsumago-juku. Wakihonjin Okutani, which has a hearth and allows you to experience the atmosphere of that time, was designated as an important cultural property of the country in 2001 Heisei 13. From November to February, you can see a fantastic sight of light pouring down from the lattice. Tsumago-juku has plenty of accommodation.
