Nestled along the slopes of the lush Kiso Valley, Magome is an evocative Edo-period post town that once sheltered travelers journeying between Kyoto and Tokyo along the famous Nakasendo trail. Stroll past beautifully preserved wooden inns, charming waterwheels, and artisanal souvenir shops that line the scenic, cobblestone main thoroughfare. The town offers breathtaking panoramic views of Mount Ena and the surrounding mountain landscapes. It also serves as the classic starting point for the beloved historical hike connecting Magome to neighboring Tsumago.
