Nakasendo Nakatsugawa-jyuku
A commercial town that once prospered in Tono
It has been a key point on the Tosan road since ancient times in Nara and the Heian period, and is one of the busiest post stations among the Nakasendo roads constructed during the Edo period. The total length is 1,100m, and there are 29 large and small Hatagoya. At the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, the grave of Mito Rebellion of the Tengu Party who fought by chanting Sonno Joi and the remains of the hideout of Kogoro Katsura (Kido Takayoshi) still remain. It was also a post station that was the key to the turbulent times.

Nakasendo
During the Edo period, Nakasendo, which was one of the five highways connecting Kyoto and Edo
, was actively used for changing attendance and for carrying daimyo and royal family members.
There are 69 post stations in a total length of 135 ri 32 chome (about 534 km). Of these, 17 inns, 126.5km
, cross the Mino region of Gifu prefecture from east to west, and still retain a strong impression of the past.

Dairin-temple
In the 8th year of the Tensho era (1616), it is said that Shoan Genko, the fifth generation of Seikou-ji Temple in Nagasaka Chaoyang, established a soan called Zen-dong-an as a shrine temple of Sakamoto Shrine. In 1608, after the second generation Yoshishu Gensada, Tokugai Gentaka became a priest. In 1622, the temple name was changed to Zendo Temple, and in 1633, it was newly built in Togaki as Obayashi Temple with Tsunekei Hayashi as the husband. Gentaka Tokugai opened Koanji, Entsuji, Zuigenji, and Chotokuji in Ena-gun and enshrined Kitano Tenmangu in the precincts in addition to Sueji. After that, it was relocated to a hill due to flood damage in Genroku 10 (1697), and the cathedral was completed in Kyoho 12 (1727). Tsushima Shrine is enshrined in the first year of Bunsei (1818). In the Pacific War, he offered a temple bell. The current temple bell was cast in 1949.
