Ohara-juku, Historical post town in Mimasaka, Japan
Ohara-juku contains 30 traditional wooden buildings with tiled roofs and sliding doors elevated from the ground along the ancient travel route.
The town served as a strategic resting point between Kyoto and Edo during the Edo period, where travelers followed the sankin-kotai route system.
Former inns within Ohara-juku display traditional Japanese architectural elements, including machiya structures that reflect regional building techniques and social customs.
Visitors can reach Ohara-juku by taking public transportation from Okayama or Takamatsu cities and explore the preserved buildings throughout the day.
The buildings maintain their original Edo period structural elements, allowing visitors to experience authentic Japanese architectural design from past centuries.
