Typical building facades in Tsumago-juku. The Kisoji ( 木曽路 , Kisoji ) was an old trade route in the Kiso Valley that stretched from Niekawa-juku in Nagano Prefecture to Magome-juku in Gifu Prefecture. There were eleven resting spots along the route, all of which became part of the Nakasendō when it was established. [1] There is an article dating from 713 in the Shoku Nihongi that records the routes characters as 吉蘇路. There are two stone markers that indicate the end points of the Kisoji. One is located between Motoyama-juku and Niekawa-juku and states "From here south: Kisoji" (是より南 木曽路 Kore yori minami, Kisoji ). The other marker is located between Magome-juku and Ochiai-juku and states, "From here north: Kisoji" (是より北 木曽路 Kore yori kita, Kisoji ). Additionally, the early 20th-century author, Shimazaki Tōson, wrote about the effects ...

Original ishidatami (stone paving) on the Nakasendō The Five Routes The Nakasendō ( 中山道 , Central Mountain Route ) , also called the Kisokaidō ( 木曾街道 ) , [1] was one of the five routes of the Edo period, and one of the two that connected Edo (modern-day Tokyo) to Kyoto in Japan. There were 69 stations (staging-posts) between Edo and Kyoto, crossing through Musashi, Kōzuke, Shinano, Mino and Ōmi provinces. [2] In addition to Tokyo and Kyoto, the Nakasendō runs through the modern-day prefectures of Saitama, Gunma, Nagano, Gifu and Shiga, with a total distance of about 534 km (332 mi). [3] Unlike the coastal Tōkaidō, the Nakasendō traveled inland, [4] hence its name, which can be translated as "中 = central; 山 = mountain; 道 = route" (as opposed to the Tōkaidō, which roughly meant "eastern sea route"). Because it was such a well-developed road, many fa...
