The Nakasendo was one of Japan's main "highways" during the Edo Period, connecting Kyoto with Edo over an inland route.
Sections of the highway and post stations, towns which used to offer food and lodging to travelers, survive in the Kiso Valley of Nagano Prefecture. Magome and Tsumago are the two most beautifully preserved post towns and are connected with each other by an attractive walking course along the old highway.
