Magome-juku
Magome-juku is a historic town that prospered as a post town on the Nakasendo route. It retains the charm of the Edo period, with its cobblestone paths and traditional buildings that have been reconstructed lining the streets. The large waterwheel is particularly impressive, providing a delightful sound to enjoy while wandering around. Along the slopes, there are restaurants where you can savor local delicacies such as Gohei-mochi, making it perfect for food excursions. It is also the birthplace of the literary giant Toson Shimazaki, and the Toson Memorial Museum is a must-see. From the observation square, you can enjoy a spectacular view of Mount Ena. The light-up during the autumn foliage season is especially beautiful.
