KISOJI is the most mountainous section in Nakasendo, one of the 5 old main trade & travel route(*) in the Edo period (17-19 centuries). The section lies in the Kiso Valley, between Tsumago-juku in Nagano Prefecture and Magome-juku in Gifu Prefecture --- JUKU means an old posting station. Now it is famous for hiking course with beautiful seasonal flowers and traditional local festivals. FURUSATO means 'hometown'. We hope Kosoji Furusato YH will become your second home!
*The Edo Five Routes: Tokaido, Nakasendo, Koshu Kaido, Oshu Kaido and Nikko Kaido.
