Magome-juku is the 43rd of the 69 campsites on Nakasendo built in the Edo period, about 332 kilometers away from Edo Nihonbashi, the starting point of Nakasendo. On both sides of the steep mountain road, it is built with stones. In the center of the camp, there are the main camp (big camp), the Xieben camp (side camp), as well as the travel cage (post station), the restaurant (small restaurant), etc. Arrange in rows. After Tokugawa Ieyasu unified the whole country, he started to renovate the roads. A total of five roads were built starting from Edo (Tokyo). Among them, the 540-kilometer "Zhongshan Road" became the only way for merchants to travel. The accommodation is located at the midpoint of "Zhongshan Road", which created the prosperous era of these two small towns. The streets of Magongsu are still paved with stone roads of the past. There are various shops in wooden houses on both sides. There are many ancient tea shops, izakayas, art shops, and hotels. Colorful flowers are planted in front of each door. It also retains the wells and waterwheels used in the past, adding an ancient sense; walking through the nostalgic streets and occasionally seeing old women in traditional kimonos makes people seem to enter a time tunnel and return to the Tokugawa Ieyasu era in the 17th century.
