Ono-juku

  Ono-juku was the first inn in Ina Kaido (Ina Way) which starts from Shiojiri-juku, Nakasendo highway and leads to Iida. Until today, buildings with the look of what they used to be are carefully preserved.

Ono-juku Tonya (the Former Residence of the Ono Family)
The Ono family had been a village headman since the early modern period. Shortly after the early Nakasendo highway was closed, the Ono family became Toiyaba (administration office) of Ono-juku, Ina Kaido, and it continued until the last days of the Tokugawa regime. This is a private home rebuilt after the Great Fire of Ono in March, 1859. Its magnificent handsome view is suitable for the leading house in Ono-juku post station town.
