Kiso road Magome, Tsumagome Trip

I would like to inform Kiso Magome, Tsumagome Trip.
I go to Nakatsugawa by JR express from Nagoya.
In the morning, you can ride super express about 20% probability
using normal JR ticket.

This super express train has a comfortable seat.
At Nakatsugawa station, change train to Matsumoto train.
Get off Nagiso station, ride the bus to Tsumagome.
300yen and only 7 minutes riding.you can arrive Tsumagome.
Bus station is at the middle of Tsumagome.
I visit WakihonJin Okuya house.


I buy set ticket, that is WakihonJin - Honjin - History museum 3 houses are available ticket,700yen.
Wakihonjin was built in 1877, is a Hotel for Samurai and rich people.
It was a Luxury hotel. It is a famous place now.
1st floor is for gentlemen, 2nd floor is for ladies.
This house has a memorial room that is Meiji emperor visited room.
The garden is mossy and clean.

Building has been designated as an important cultural property of the country.
The guide tour is planed every hour.
I recommend you to attend this tour for understanding this house.
Building is built by the Kiso Hinoki.
At Edo period, Hinoki is important tree for building shrine.
Ise shrine must be built by Kiso Hinoki.
At Edo period, Kiso Hinoki is same as human.
When a man cut the Kiso Hinoki, he will be killed.

Next to go to History museum, I understand Kiso history.

Next is Honjin house.This house is built in 1995. It is a hotel for important Samurai.
Father of Toson Shimazaki was a manager for this house.
This house has a Daimyo room, it is luxury room.

This hose has only 1st floor, but the big area.
Tsumagome has only three lodging houses now, but at Showa period Tsumagome has a lot of lodging houses.

We can see a Edo lodging house, and see a feeling of Edo period.

The famouse Tsumagome lodging house, that has a Ginkgo under the eaves, is very good.
I go to Magome by bus, 600yen 20minutes riding.
Jinba is convenient for entering Magome.

From Jinba 50m distance, Observatory is existing.
We can see a wide view to a plane.

I visit Tsumagome Wakihonjin Museum, it shows Magome history.
Magome has a many big fire, because Magome is windy in the slope, so lots of houses were burnt.
Current houses are built at Taisho or early Showa period.
I don't know this true, I think Magome people rebuild new house, because old house is not convenient.
I eat Soba noodle, soft ice cream.
I visit Toson museum 500yen.

This museum has a Birthhouse, and shows lots of Toson books.
But the birth house is not opened, I am disappointed.
Water turbine generator is opened and no charge.

In the house, indicater shows current production of electricity, it is interesting.

Magome does not have a Edo period house but has a slope with stream and wonderful view.

Near Magome about 800m distance, Shimada river park hold firefly festival in June 14 to 16.
Till end of June, firefly is available to see in this park.
When you stay this Magome, please visit this park.

Tsumagome and Magine have the common points.
They have lots of Soba noodle restaurants and Gohei rice cakes.

Gohei rice cake has some types, normal one shape is 250yen,
2 cakes type is 200yen, small type is 100yen.

Souvenirs are wood bath bowl, rice bowl, and doll.
Wood bath bowl is 3500yen, expensive.
Many foreigners are watching wood bath bowl.
Some foreigners buy wood bath bowls.
Weak yen makes foreign travelers to go to Japan, and buy souvenirs.

I return to Nagoya by JR.

That's it.
