Narai shop

【Hino Hyakuso Honpo Narai shop】
Narai shop is located roughly in the center of “Narai juku”, one of the Kiso 11 post stations on the Nakasendo from the Edo period. This shop used to be one of the typical Narai juku private homes in the late Edo period. Inside the shop, we display and sell herbal medicines and herbal medicine formulations such as the gastrointestinal drug, Hyakusogan. The townscape along the Nakasendo was selected as one of the Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture in 1978. |

  The post stations of the Nakasendo are given Michelin stars and are collectively listed as one of the places of “1,000 Places to See Before You Die” which was published in America. This townscape is visited by lots of foreign tourists. |
