Ouchijuku
Step back into the Edo period during a venture around Ouchijuku, a historic post station now located within a larger town. Post stations were built to provide travelers transporting goods across the country with somewhere to stay and rest, and the squat wooden buildings have a pleasing aesthetic, nestled together among the mountainous landscape. Take the time to admire the thatched roofs of the well-preserved buildings, and pop in to see what they now contain, with many of the buildings now open to the public in the form of museums, cafes, souvenir shops, and restaurants. Work out when and for how long to visit Ouchijuku and other Shimogo-machi attractions using our handy Shimogo-machi trip itinerary builder.

perhaps the expectations were too high. It takes a while to get here by train and bus and once here, the visual is of a historic time but the activities seem very singular in having exterior beauty.... more

A historic village popular with tourists and locals. There is a large parking area just across the street but there’s a fee for parking. The street itself is only one walking path and many stores are not even open. You can expect to spend about 1-2 hours here. There is nothing much to see. The view is also quite normal so I would recommend you to go only if you have time or you’re passing by.

Lots of fun old fashioned Japanese snacks/street food to try! Lovely buildings, great place for a stroll. Shops are all located owned and run so they kind of set their own hours. Between 11am to 4pm is probably when most shops are open, but some may open sooner or later depending on the day.
