Minami-Kiso flourished during the Edo period as a Shukuba town on the Nakasendo Highway connecting Kyoto and Edo.
In "Tsumagogo inn (Tsumago-juku)" and "Midono inn (Midono-juku)", where travelers interacted and culture blossomed, the old townscape of that time still remains.
It is a fascinating region with natural landscapes and rich history.
Please spend a memorable time in the beautiful nature and history of Minami Kiso Town.

-Nakasendo / Tsumago juku Cultural and Political Procession (2)-
November 23 is the busiest day ✨ of the year for Tsumago juku
Lunch break is rice balls 🍙 wrapped in bamboo skin
It's also a photo opportunity to see them eating!
I wonder if 💭 they used to bring rice balls like this and eat them on the go
There are people who are handing out large pieces of paper, which are called "Kawaraban" and are like newspapers from the Edo period. It is said 💭 that they were selling at that time in order to inform the common people of urgent news

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"
