Walk the Japanese Old Post town Tsumago-Juku at Nagano Japan in Winter
江戸時代の町並みが残る五街道・中山道・妻籠宿の風景(長野県南木曽町)
This is a video of walking around Tsumago-juku, the 42nd post town on Nakasendo, where the scenery of Kisoji, which is full of Edo atmosphere, is beautiful.
Nakasendo is one of the Edo Five Routes (五街道, Gokaidō) constructed during the Edo period.
This route is a 540km routes that connects Nihonbashi in Edo and Sanjo Ohashi in Kyoto(Current Tokyo and Kyoto Prefecture Japan) via the inland northbound route, which is different from the Tokaido that runs southward along the Pacific coast.
The part that passes through the Kiso region is also called Kiso Kaido or Kiso Road, and there are 11 post stations consisting of Kamishijuku, Nakasanjuku, and Shimoshijuku, which are collectively called Kiso 11juku.
In winter, when it was cold and snowfall was heavy, the walking distance was shortened, but there was a lot of traffic on Kisoji.
It is said that the reason why this route was often chosen was that the crackdown by the Edo Shogunate was strict and that it also meant avoiding the Tokaido, which has many difficult points such as Hakone Touge.
Therefore, there are 16 more inns in the post town between Edo and Kyoto than in the Tokaido.
Since the beginning of the Showa era, the Kiso cityscape preservation project has become a basic policy, and in 1973, the town’s own townscape preservation ordinance, the “Tsumagojuku Preservation Ordinance,” was enacted.
Three years later, it was praised for its efforts in landscape conservation activities along with the revision to the “Tsumagojuku Preservation District Conservation Ordinance”, and it became the first selection site for the National Important Preservation Districts for Traditional Buildings.
Currently, it is popular as a tourist attraction that represents Kiso Road along with the neighboring Magome-juku, and is visited by many tourists including foreigners.

江戸情緒溢れる木曽路の風景が美しい、中山道42番目の宿場町、妻籠宿を散策いたしました。
中山道は江戸時代に整備された五街道の一つとなっており、南回りで太平洋沿岸を通行する東海道に対して、北回り・内陸経由で江戸の日本橋と京都の三条大橋(現在の東京都と京都府)を結ぶ全行程540kmの街道となっております。
そのうちの木曽地方を通る部分を木曽街道または木曽路とも呼び、上四宿、中三宿、下四宿からなる11の宿場が設置され、その総称を木曽十一宿とも呼んでいます。
比較的険しい木曽の山道を通行し、寒さが厳しく降雪量も多い冬場は歩行距離が短くなったにもかかわらず、盛んな往来があったのは、江戸幕府による「入鉄砲出女」の取り締まりが厳しかったのと、箱根峠などの交通難所が多い東海道を避ける意味合いもあったとされている。
そのため、江戸と京都間に設置された宿場町は東海道よりも16宿多い。
昭和期に入ってからは木曽の街並みの保存事業が基本方針となり、1973年には町独自の町並み保存条例である「妻籠宿保存条例」が制定されると、その3年後には「妻籠宿保存地区保存条例」への改正と共に景観保全活動に取り組んだことが評価されて、国の重要伝統的建造物群保存地区の最初の選定地になりました。
現在は隣接する馬籠宿と共に歴史の面影を残す木曽路を代表する観光名所として人気が高く、外国人も含めた旅行者が多く訪れています。
