'Magome-juku' was the 43rd of the 69th stations of the ancient road that connected Kyoto and Edo(today's Tokyo) during Edo period. Nowdays, it consists of beautiful restored row of wooden houses along former post road. Most houses were built in the mid-18th century and thats what make this place interesting. the trip to Magome both are relaxing and educative. It has the joys of daily life, lined along a pedestrian only cobblestone street, which make it quite unusual and unique. Also, a 3 hour hike away, there is the post town of 'Tsumago'. However, the hike in the street quite trouble to walk.
