2026 Heritage Wada Shuku Post-Town Festival Full Day Course

The 'Hometown Wada Shuku Post-Town Festival' is held around Wada Shuku Honjin in Nagano Prefecture's Nagano District, Nawa Town, which retains the character of a Nakasendo post-station. In 2026, it takes place on August 14 (Friday), with food stalls lining the honjin area, enveloped in the lively atmosphere of a historic post-town. This course is a full-day plan to deeply experience the historic post-town that spreads at the base of the Nakasendo's most famous challenge—Wada Pass. During the day, touch history at the Obsidian Experience Museum from prehistoric times, and take a leisurely stroll through the preserved post-town streets. Then enjoy local flavors at Roadside Station Marmelo no Eki Nagato, and in late afternoon, revisit the Wada Shuku Honjin with fresh eyes. As the sun begins to set, experience the post-town festival around the honjin. It's a full day where you can enjoy the mountain post-town night illuminated by food stall lights, a unique experience only possible in Nawa Town.
