Ouchi Juku Old Village

Ouchi-juku is a former post town established around the 17th century and also registered as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings by the Japanese government. The streets lined with thatch-roofed houses are reminiscent of the Edo period , and displays showing the details of life in those times down to the utensils and hearths help visitors imagine what life was like during its heyday. It's a sort of japanese postal or post town of the olden days. Basically a pit stop for merchants, travellers, nomads of the Edo period in Japan. Houses lined up on both sides of a wide street - mostly providing food and accommodation. Now serving as a tourist attraction, these houses are preserved as exhibits or converted into restaurants and souvenirs shops. It's a pleasant sight, nothing more than that to be honest. The surrounding area is just a town neighborhood. It would probably be more of a spectacle in the winter. #falltrip #travel
