| 説明 | Magome-juku is a small town in the hills of Nagano Prefecture, located in the Kiso Valley. This forest valley is surrounded by the Japan Alps, and is on the route of one of the old post roads that connected Edo (Tokyo) with Kyoto in the Edo period. The other road, the Tokai-dou, passes through Okazaki. This one is called the Nakasen-dou and had 69 stations along its length. To ensure the safety of travellers, these post-towns were built. They served as way stations where travellers could stop for food and rest, and also secured their safety at night. The ancient roads were particularly busy, as the Daimyo (ancient warlords) were required to spend alternate years in Edo - it is claimed that the aim was to drain their resources by the cost of maintaining second houses in Edo, and to prevent them being in one place long enough to plan a rebellion. |
