Kiso-Fukushima is a delightful little town in Nagano Prefecture, central Honshu. It is on the railway line between Nagoya and Matsumoto and on the historic Edo Period Nakasendo highway linking Kyoto and Edo (Tokyo).
Kiso-Fukushima was an important checkpoint on the Nakasendo, and its historic Sekisho, or barrier station, is one of only two on the route. It is located about halfway on the Nakasendo from Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto. Kiso-Fukushima is larger than many of the other post-stations on the Nakasendo but remains a quiet town with much to see and do in a relaxed manner.
