Nakasendo Magome-juku

Magome-juku is the 43rd post station, or Shukuba, along the 69 Stations of the Nakasendo that stretches from Nihonbashi in Edo to Sanjo Ohashi in Kyoto. It is the southernmost post station among the 11 stations along the Kiso road, a section of the historic Nakasendo route.
Magome Juku has been awarded a one-star rating by the Michelin Green Guide Japan.

Following a steep mountain ridge, the post station features inns and restaurants arrayed along a sloping stone-paved road stretching approximately 600 meters.
The cobblestone streets are lined with old, lattice-windowed residential houses, museums, tea houses, and souvenir shops on both sides, a scene that very much resembles how the post town looked in the Edo period hundreds of years ago.
