Waki Honjin Okuya

avatar
@rkrkrk
Located in the historic post town of Tsumago-juku in Nagano, the Waki-honjin is a step back in time to the Edo period between 1603 and 1867. Tsumago's Wak-honjin was one of the important stops along the Nakasendo highway where feudal lords would stay as they traveled the highway. Wreathed in cypress trees, the waki-honjin is a peaceful place and today is one of the most impressive historic structures in Tsumago.
