[Travel back in time to the Edo period in Minami Kiso!? Minami Kiso Town Museum x Wakihonjin Okuya]

#Spring0yenTravel Minami Kiso Town Museum and Wakihonjin Okuya in Minami Kiso, Nagano Prefecture, are irresistible spots for history buffs, as they retain the appearance of a post town from the Edo period! If you visit Magome-juku or Tsumago-juku, be sure to stop by these two as a set! First, Minami Kiso Town Museum is a museum that focuses on the history, culture, and life of the town, with realistic displays of old houses and tools, making you feel closer to life at the time. It is an "outdoor museum" style that you can actually walk around, so it is also attractive because you can enjoy it as if you were taking a stroll. And at the center of it all is Wakihonjin Okuya. It is a valuable building where important people from the Edo period stayed, and with its magnificent wooden architecture, tatami-floored guest rooms, and earthen floor atmosphere, you can immerse yourself in the travel culture of the time! In particular, there are detailed explanations that are worth seeing, such as the history of the Okuya family and its connection to Minami Kiso's forestry industry, so it is also educational. 📍Basic information (check the website for the latest information) ✴︎Address: 2190 Azuma, Minami Kiso-machi, Kiso-gun, Nagano Prefecture ✴︎Access: 20 minutes on foot from JR Minami Kiso Station (there is a local circular bus) ✴︎Price: Common admission ticket 600 yen for adults, 300 yen for elementary and junior high school students ✴︎Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 (entry until 16:30) Closed on Mondays This area is especially recommended for those who like retro, history, and strolling around post towns. Experience the charm of Minami Kiso while feeling the old-fashioned atmosphere!
