Peace, Pines & Edo Vibes

#springitinerary Tsumago-juku is like someone hit pause on time, in the best way. This little town in the Kiso Valley is straight out of old-school Japan, with wooden buildings, stone paths, and zero neon signs in sight. In spring, it’s seriously next-level charming. Flowers bloom along the streets, there’s a cool breeze through the pine trees, and everything smells fresh and earthy. You can hike the Nakasendo Trail to or from nearby Magome (super scenic), or just chill in town, munching on gohei mochi (sweet-savory rice on a stick, so good). There are tiny museums, tea houses, and spots to just sit and soak in the quiet. No cars allowed in the main area either, which keeps the vibe super peaceful. If you’re looking to escape the city noise and live your best laid-back, nature-meets-history life, Tsumago in spring is absolute perfection. Total calm-core energy.
