Magome
 
basic information

Magome is a beautifully preserved post town along the old Nakasendo, a former "highway" connecting Kyoto and Edo (Tokyo). Stretching for a few hundred meters along the main road, the town used to offer food and lodgings to travelers.

Today, Magome serves again travelers with restaurants, souvenir shops and minshuku and ryokan lodgings. An attractive walking course along the old Nakasendo connects Magome with Tsumago, another beautifully preserved post town.
