Streets of Tsumago

The Natural Beauty of Tsumago-juku

From spring to autumn, visitors can enjoy the surrounding mountains, streams, rice fields, and farmland. This season is perfect for experiencing the rich natural scenery of the countryside.

Preserved Traditional Streets

Tsumago-juku is known for its efforts to preserve the traditional townscape. Here, you can enjoy both Japan’s historic wooden buildings and the natural beauty of the area at the same time. Among the Nakasendo post towns, Tsumago is especially famous for this harmony of tradition and nature.

A Living Post Town

In Tsumago-juku, efforts are made to preserve the streets, such as avoiding visible utility poles and streetlights. The town is also home to residents, so it is not a staged tourist area. The daily life of the people blends naturally with the historic townscape, creating a unique and authentic atmosphere that cannot be found elsewhere.

Townscape Area

The main area stretches from the Umaya-ato (former stables), the Honjin (main inn), to the post office, where visitors can walk along the preserved streets and enjoy the historic atmosphere.
