Momosuke bridge, Nagiso

This is the oldest wooden suspension bridge in Japan.

The Nakasendo trail has been documented in woodblock prints (ukiyo-e) by Hiroshige Utagawa and Keisai Eisen in “the Sixty-nine stations of the Kisokaido”, on display at the Nakasendo Hiroshige Museum of Art. The common name for the Kisokaido is Nakasendo, a postal route connecting Edo with Kyoto, constructed under shogun Tokugawa.
