• Seki Post Town - Seki-juku is one of the few remaining post towns (shukuba) from Japan’s Edo period, situated along the historic Tokaido route that once linked Kyoto and Edo (now Tokyo). Positioned near the mountain passes separating Ise and Nara, this town was an essential rest stop for travelers preparing for or recovering from the arduous journey through the hills.

Although much of the old Tokaido has been replaced by modern roads and urban development, Seki-juku has remarkably retained its original allure. With rows of traditional wooden buildings, narrow walkable streets, and an atmosphere rich in history, it provides a unique opportunity to step back into Japan’s early-modern era.

Whether you’re a history buff or a curious traveler, Seki-juku is an ideal place to experience the daily life and architecture of a bygone Japan.
