Tadachi Washi Paper Making Experience 2024! The culture of "washi papermaking" has been handed down since ancient times in the Tadachi area of Nagiso Town. At that time, it was an important industry as a winter side job for farmers. Tadachi washi paper temporarily disappeared completely due to the spread of Western paper, but in order to preserve its traditional technique and make it known to many people, the towns restored the "Tadachi Washi House" in Showa 60. At the washi house, we still carry out papermaking ✨ by inheriting that technique even now Washi House is accepting winter-only "papermaking experiences"! Nature raw materials and cold water are used, so it is 👀 a valuable experience that can only be done in winter There are two types of experience menus, "postcard" and "small format"! Why don't you make a one-of-a-kind "original washi" in the world? Period: December ~ March Location: Tadachi Washi House (Tadachi 234-2, Nagiso Town) Inquiries: 0573-75-4910 (Washi House) *Reservation required For details, please check ✨ the Nagiso Tourism Association Home page "Burari Nagiso"

[Nakasendo Narai-juku] Located beneath Torii Pass — one of the Nakasendo’s most notorious difficult stretches — Narai was known as 'Narai Senken' ('a thousand houses of Narai') and was the most prosperous post town among the eleven post towns of Kiso. The townscape has been designated by the national government as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and it still strongly retains the atmosphere of the past. The roughly 1‑km stretch of buildings along the Narai River forms the longest post‑town streetscape in Japan. More than a preserved site, Narai‑juku’s charm lies in the fact that people still live there today. This award‑winning post town was also used as the setting for the 2011 NHK morning drama 'Ohisama'. As a place where visitors can experience Japan's unspoiled beauty, it attracts many people from Japan and abroad every year, who are captivated by this historic post town. ◇Basic Information ・ Parking: Please use the nearest Roadside Station 'Kiso-no-Ohashi' parking lot (free), or the Gonbei Parking Lot (paid). ・Inquiries: Narai-juku Tourist Information Center TEL 0264-34-3160

Narai juku "It's off-limits today due to road construction!" Alamār!" It is located in Narai, Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture. Narai Juku is the 34th post town in the Nakasendo Highway, counting from Itabashi Inn on the Edo side and Moriyama Inn on the Kyoto side, just in the middle of the Nakasendo Highway. The Town has been selected as a national Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings and retains a strong appearance of the past. On the day I visited, half of the road was off-limits due to road construction tears. The construction had not started yet early in the morning, so I asked to take a picture. "It's off-limits today due to road construction!" Alamār!" I don't know if the two people in the photo were talking. Restrooms available.

This historic site features the Chinjin Shrine at the top of Torii Pass on its Kyoto end. Once a bustling hub for travelers, Narai-juku was known as "Narai Senken" Narai's Thousand Houses and was the busiest stop on the Kisoji road.
