【塩尻宿 -しおじりじゅく-】 所在地：塩尻市塩尻町

下諏訪宿から三沢峠・小野宿・牛首峠を越える旧中山道が、慶長18（1613）年に廃止され、慶長19（1614）年から中山道が塩尻峠を経由となり新しい塩尻宿が開設されました。

宿の普請は、松本領主の小笠原秀政がその任にあたり、旧宿の南西の位置へ東西に、新しく塩尻宿の町割りをしました。本陣の規模は中山道の中でも最大で、宿内には高札場、松本藩の口留番所が置かれました。

宿の区画は平均3～4間口が基準となっており、天保14（1843）年には家数166軒、うち旅籠は街道の分岐点で塩尻峠を控えているため75軒と信州26宿のうち最大でありました。文政11（1828）年と明治15（1882）年の大火で宿の大部分を焼失しましたが、宿内の国重要文化財の小野家が往時を偲ばせます。

【Nakasendo and 5 Post Towns in Shiojiri City】

There are 69 Shukuba on the Nakasendo Road between Edo Japan Bridge and Kyoto Sanjo Ohashi Bridge.
Although there are more hills in the Shiojiri City area than on the Tokaido, there was no long stay in the river, so we were able to pass as planned.
There were five shukuba on the Nakasendo road in the Shiojiri city area: Shiojiri Inn, Washima Inn, Motoyama Inn, Niekawa Juku, and Narai Juku.

(1) Shiojiri Inn -Shiojirijuku- (30th from Edo Japan Bridge)
Shiojiri inn was set up in Sakai in the Matsumoto and Suwa territories to change Rice shells and contraband items, and the honjin and wakihonjin used for attendance shifts were established, and the number of hatagoya was the second largest in Nakasendo and the largest in Shinano at the end of the Bakumatsu shogunate.

(2) Washima inn -Barajuku- (31st from Edo Japan Bridge)
It is a Shukuba that corresponds to the follow-up of the Nakasendo Road and Zenkoji Temple Highway. The inn was equipped with one of only three Kanme Kaisho on Nakasendo. Most of the faces of the Shukuba were destroyed by the great fire in the early Showa period, but the stone lantern of the night light remains in the place where it hits.

(3) Motoyama inn -Motoyamajuku- (32nd from Edo Japan Bridge)
Motoyama inn is said to be the birthplace of Soba cutting. It flourished as the entrance to Kisoji Road and the exit of Matsumotodaira. Honjin became a Accommodation when the Imperial Princess Wagu married Tokugawa Ieshige and during the Meiji Emperor's visit in 1880 (Meiji 13).

(4) Niekawa Juku -Niekawajuku- (33rd from Edo Japan Bridge)
Niekawa Juku is the entrance to Kisoji 11 Inn. As a transportation hub on the Nakasendo Highway, the Kakegawa Checkpoint was located, and it developed in the Accommodation industry and remote area commerce.

(5) Narai juku -Naraijuku- (34th from Edo Japan Bridge)
The Shukuba was called "Narai Senken" and was crowded. Richly preserved of the faces of that time, it is now visited by many people as a popular Sightseeing spot.

【Torii (shrine gate) Pass -Torii Toge-】 ♢summary A mountain road of about 6 km that connects Yauhara Juku in Narai juku on the Kiso Highway. For travelers in Edo, it was famous as one of the one-of-the-best places on the Nakasendo Highway that made waraji shoes cry. Popular in modern times as a quaint Trekking course. Many people from home and abroad walk this pass. From the summit, you can see Mt. Mitake to the west and Mt. Kiso Komagatake to the east, and there are many monuments and stone Buddhas of haiku and poets, including Matsuo Basho, along the ancient road. The Sengoku period became the battlefield of the Kiso and Takeda clans, and at the end of the Edo period, it is a historical mountain pass that the Empress Wagu passed through on her journey to surrender.
