Journey along Kisoji, an old road in Nagano that was traveled by feudal lords, samurai and even princesses. 👸🏻 It’s home to 11 ‘post towns’ and is part of the historical Nakasendo highway connecting Tokyo and Kyoto.
💪Sumo is very popular in Kiso. Boys from the village of Okuwa prepare for a match with a prestigious club that has produced national tournament winners.
💧In Suhara-juku, communal water stations, called ‘mizubune’ (water boat), made from hollowed-out cypress logs are found throughout the town.
🐴Locals celebrate the 300-year-old Hanauma Festival. A sacred Kiso Horse carries the wishes of the community for a good harvest to the local Shinto shrine.
