Note: This poor town did not modernized yet it became beautiful more than the modern buildings. Also, DARKNESS AND BEAUTY go hand in hand more often than one might think.
Edit : This is Narai-juku – Japanese post town on the Nakasendo trail. One day trip from Nagano or from Matsumoto.
Is this where they fucked up the Wolverine?
This makes me want to visit Japan even more! It’s incredible to see history come to life.
I dont get the others not getting the vibe but this photo really captures the essence of traditional Japan. Its incredible to see a beautiful place so beautifully preserved
This is like a much nicer version of diagonalley from Harry Potter
Wow this comment section did not pass the vibe check, damn
That’s breathtaking.. I’ve never seen a place in such harmony with it’s surroundings.
What a breathtaking view
Where’s the rest of the pics
Looks like something out of a mystical ninja/ganbare goemon game level
Great, Instagramer will ruin it by end of year.

Just a shame that it’s functionally impossible for an American doctor to practice in Japan or i’d be living in some rural ass town up north in a heartbeat after residency.
These places were not isolated and poor. They are what they have always been, a tourist destination. They didn’t change because there was no point in doing so; and by the time they were no longer used for a place for foot and horse passengers to stop their allure as historic sites was as valuable. They are heavily visited by domestic tourists and feature in a lot of media.
How did it survive the Great Kantō earthquake?
This looks straight out of a scene from 13 Assassins.
it’s amazing how well this neighborhood has been preserved. it feels like stepping back in time
Based on Google Lens this place is called Narai-Juku and you can do a day trip there.
This looks like a magical place to me!
Like, it’s soo beautiful and while I’d love to visit, I know the second I do the Foot Clan is going to reveal themselves and in that moment I’ll have realized that it was a bad idea to go there.
This is the only possible outcome I can reasonably think of.
Life just isn’t fair 😔
Architects and planners could learn so much from this, why do we have to live with all this ugliness?
Proof that color wasn’t invented until 1861
Where is this, I would love to experience this place during my trip to Japan
I think I saw this place on a Japanese game show.
Whats wrong with this sub?
Looks like a fire hazard!
If its so good – why sell? Obv – didnt work for creators…eish..morons. But guess there a sucker born every day
