The 530-kilometer stretch of road was dotted with 69 post towns. Our reporter, JJ, walks along a preserved section of the Nakasendo and stops at Tsumago, a beautifully restored post town. He spends the night at a venerable inn and meets people who treasure a traditional way of life. This edition of journeys in japan features a walk back in time along an Edo era road. Tsumago-juku Tsumago, in Nagano prefecture, is 300 kilometers from Tokyo. The town developed as the 42nd post station from Edo. At Tsumago, the 600-meter length of road is lined with 150 wooden structures including inns, handsome souvenir shops and private homes. The street retains an atmosphere of olden times.
