Welcome to Narai-juku, a place where you can truly step back in time. Before you wander down our main street, which stretches for a kilometer and looks much as it did in the Edo period, be sure to stop by our local tourist information center. Here, you can grab a map and get insider tips on the best-preserved merchant houses and quiet temples to visit. The friendly staff can also help you with any travel arrangements and even rent you a bear bell if you're planning to hike the historic Nakasendo trail over the Torii Pass.
