Quiet Morning Walk through Nakasendo Post Town to Hilltop Tsumago Castle Site | Nagano, Japan
Tsumago is one of 69 post towns along the Old Nakasendo, an Edo Period walking highway from Kyoto to Tokyo. These days it is popular for visitors to walk to or from Magome, another post town about 9km to the south. The old wooden buildings along the walking road are house shops, inns, eateries during the day to cater to the many walkers passing through. I thought it would be interesting to explore the town and a bit of the Nakasendo outside of town in the early hours, before anyone was out and about. I hope you enjoy this look at a beautiful little town.
