Nakasendo is one of the five roads established by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1602. Nakasendo is a road that connects Edo and Kyoto via the inland.
To Kyoto’s Sanjo Ohashi through mountainous areas such as Gunma, Nagano, and Gifu. The total length was about 533 km, and the number of post stations was 69, and it was a trunk road next to the Tokaido.
It is about 47km longer than the 496km Tokaido, the longest of the five roads. It is said that Ieyasu and Hidetada built the highway for military purposes. By the time Ieyasu started building the Tokaido, peace was still far away. Narai-juku, where the shrine is enshrined, is the second post station from the north of the Kisoji Eleven Posts. Retaining the remnants of the Edo period, it has been selected as a national preservation district for groups of traditional buildings. It is the busiest post station among the Kisoji Eleven Posts just before Torii Pass, the most difficult place on the Kisoji. More than 200 private houses with gabled roofs are lined up along the Narai River. On the outskirts of Narai-juku, the old Nakasendo road still retains the atmosphere of the Edo period.
中山道は1602年徳川家康によって定められた五街道の一つです。中山道は江戸と京都を内陸経由で結んだ街道です。群馬県、長野県、岐阜県などの山間地を通って京都の三条大橋へ。 総延長は約533km、宿場の数は69東海道に次ぐ幹線道路でした。五街道で最も長く東海道496kmよりも約47km長いことになります。家康や秀忠が街道を整備した狙いは、軍用のためだったともいわれています。家康が東海道の整備に着手した頃は、まだ平和には程遠い時代でした。鎮神社が鎮座する奈良井宿は木曽路十一宿のうち北から二番目に位置する宿です。江戸時代の面影を色濃く残し、国の伝統的建造物群保存地区に選定されています。木曽路中の 最大の難所鳥居峠の手前で木曽路十一宿中もっとも賑わった宿場です。奈良井川に沿って、200軒余の切妻平入りの民家が軒を並べています。奈良井宿のはずれには、中山道の旧い道が江戸時代の風情のままに残っています。
