Narai-juku

Information

Narai-juku is a post station on the Nakasendo Highway founded in the Edo Period (1603 - 1868). It is said to have been one of the most prosperous post stations in Kiso. A number of the traditional wooden buildings which were built around 300 years ago still remain, and even today, the atmosphere of those old days can be experienced at inns, cafés and souvenir shops here.
