Magome Station (馬籠宿): Stone-Paved Path on the Kiso Road and Spectacular Mountain Castle Naegi Castle Ruins
A leisurely walking course through Magome Station (馬籠宿), a Kiso Road post-town with wooden townhouses lining the stone-paved slope, in the fresh morning air. Midway through the station, you can visit the Fujimura Memorial Museum (藤村記念館) and the Magome Waki-Honji Historical Museum (馬籠脇本陣史料館) in succession, immersing yourself in the world of Edo-period travel and literature. In the afternoon, you'll head to Naegi Castle Ruins (苗木城跡), a mountain castle with towering massive stone walls, and enjoy a grand 360-degree panorama of the Kiso River and Mount Ena from the observation platform at the castle tower. To conclude, you'll trace the history of the castle lord Toyama family at the historical museum at the base—a day in Nakatsugawa (中津川) perfect for history enthusiasts.
