Midono-juku

Midono-juku (三留野宿, Midono-juku) was the forty-first of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō, as well as the ninth of eleven stations on the Kisoji.

It is located in the present-day town of Nagiso, in the Kiso District of Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

[1] The northern part of Nagiso Station marks the original location of Midono-juku.

However, after a large fire in 1881 that destroyed many of the buildings,[1] the town decided to develop rail connections and moved Midono-juku to its present location.

Throughout the town, you can find representative buildings of Edo, Meiji, Taishō and Shōwa periods,[2] including the remains of a large electric station from the Taishō period.
