Unno-juku

Unno-juku features rows of traditional wooden buildings with dark wooden facades and slanted roofs along the former Nakasendo trade route.

The town emerged as a postal relay station during the 1600s, connecting the cities of Kyoto and Edo through an intricate network of communication points.

Local residents maintain traditional crafts and culinary practices within the preserved wooden structures, offering visitors experiences of Edo-period traditions.

The station sits 36.36 degrees north and 138.31 degrees east, with regular train and bus connections from Nagano and Matsumoto cities.

The original postal system infrastructure remains visible through preserved horse stables, inns, and administrative buildings from the Edo period.
