Seki Post Town

A stretch of 1.8 kilometers in Kameyama contains more than 200 traditional buildings constructed during the late Edo and Meiji periods.

The post town served as a crucial rest stop along the ancient Tokaido road system, connecting major cities during Japan's feudal period.

Traditional architectural elements such as wooden facades, sliding doors, and tiled roofs represent the construction methods of historical Japanese merchants.

Visitors can explore the town without entry fees between 1 to 2 hours, with many establishments remaining closed during weekday afternoons.

Local vending machines dispense fresh eggs near preserved merchant houses that date back to the 17th century.
