Sekijuku: A Time-Slip Stroll Through an Edo Period Post Town on the Tokaido
Head to Sekijuku (関宿), the 47th post station of the Tokaido Road and a nationally designated Important Traditional Building Preservation District. Stroll along approximately 1.8 km of the old post road lined with Edo and Meiji-era townhouses, retracing the journeys of the past through museums and the Tamaya Inn. After selecting souvenirs at Fukagawaya, where the famous sweet "Seki no To" is made, finish at the Kameyama Castle Tamon Turret (亀山城多門櫓), the only existing castle structure in Mie Prefecture. This time-slip stroll is perfect for groups of friends who love historic streetscapes and photography.
