The ancient Nakasendo road had many little post towns where travelers could stop to spend the night and buy supplies for their journey between the two capital cities, Kyoto and Edo. Many of these post towns used to be lively centers of commerce. Narai Juku is perhaps the biggest and most famous of these. Here’s a glimpse of what it is like.
I am planning another trip to the Nakasendo and the Kiso valley in late April/ early May to see the cherry blossoms and the mountains in spring. If you are interested to join and hear details, drop me a message at spiritofjapantours@gmail.com

ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF JAPAN TOURS:
In Japanese, the character WA (和) means harmony and equilibrium. The concept of WA can be observed in every aspect of life in Japan: from the way society functions to the harmonious way the elements of a Japanese garden are combined and the elegant, precise movements of a master performing a tea ceremony – all of that is WA and all aim to achieve perfect harmony.
At Spirit of Japan Tours we are dedicated to help you experience the spirit of WA on a deep and transformational level. Our carefully crafted tours incorporate the best of Japan’s irresistible charm: its ancient history and traditions, awe-inspiring natural beauty and its unique blend of spirituality, based on Zen and native Shinto practices. They are a joyful creation that will enhance your sense well-being and enjoyment of life and help you discover your own inner WA – the place where you are in perfect harmony with your own self and the world.
