Many of these structures house charming shops, restaurants, and even ryokan (traditional Japanese inns), offering a chance to experience not just the sights but also the spirit of Edo Japan.
Narai-juku flourished as the 34th station along the Nakasendo, a vital highway connecting Edo (present-day Tokyo) with Kyoto during the Edo period.

Don't miss the charming Kisohirasawa townscape, a picture-perfect collection of traditional wooden buildings offering a glimpse into daily life in Narai-juku.
Narai-juku offers experiences beyond sightseeing. Immerse yourself in Japanese culture by indulging in a traditional tea ceremony at a historic teahouse. Savor delicious local cuisine at a charming restaurant or browse unique souvenirs handcrafted by local artisans. For a truly immersive experience, consider staying overnight at a traditional ryokan, allowing you to fully appreciate the town's tranquility and timeless charm.
