Magome-juku
The Nakasendo was one of the five major highways developed during the Edo period to connect Kyoto and Edo. Magome-juku was the 43rd post town along the route. Built on a stone-paved slope, the town retains the atmosphere of the Edo period. Shops lining both sides of the street sell freshly grilled gohei-mochi rice cakes, oyaki dumplings, and other treats, making it a pleasant place for strolling and sampling local food.
The antique-style café has such a great vibe, and the souvenir shops are super fun to browse!
