Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"!

This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS".
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. "Onjuku Daikichi" is a guest house that harmonizes tradition and modernity. You can enjoy hinoki baths, Daikichi original dishes, chirashi soba sushi, ancient rice rice, etc.
Located along the Nakasendō, Hanaya is a convenient ryokan with a large public bath and a private shower room, making it a popular ryokan for overseas tourists.

Typical gourmet foods around Tsumago-juku are soba noodles and gohei mochi.
We recommend Gohei mochi made with buckwheat flour from "Restaurant Kongoya" and Gohei mochi with sauce made with local mountain gurumi from "Shinya". At the restaurant "Otoyoshi" and the ryokan "Fujioto", you can taste local cuisine.
