Explore the History of the Koshu Kaido Road

Let's visit the post towns of the Koshu Kaido highway, which retains the atmosphere of the good old days. Surrounded by beautiful nature, you can feel the atmosphere of the Edo period and trace the footsteps of the travelers of the past.

Post Towns on the Koshu Kaido Road

The Koshu Kaido highway prospered as a major road connecting Edo and Koshu. Post towns that retain the nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of the lively days still exist today.

Visit the Site of the Fujita Family Honjin

In Uenohara-juku, the Fujita family once served as the honjin. The site of the historic mansion, which was used as a resting place for Emperor Meiji during his visit, has been preserved. Despite being struck by a great fire, only the gate of the mansion remains, reminding us of the appearance of that time.

Preserving the Traditional Atmosphere of the Town

In the area where old townhouses and narrow streets remain, aged white-walled storehouses and lattice doors create an atmosphere. While strolling through the quiet and serene streets, let's reflect on the vestiges of the Edo period.

Even in a place far from Edo, the remnants of the liveliness of that time are deeply preserved along the Koshu Kaido highway. You can enjoy a stroll enveloped in a unique atmosphere that mixes nostalgia and freshness.
