Ouchijuku Post Town far exceeded my expectations. This historical town, which feels like a time warp back to the Edo period, is filled with charm and authenticity. The kindness of the locals truly stood out—they welcomed us warmly, adding to the town’s nostalgic atmosphere. It felt like stepping back in time, especially with the old-fashioned toys and a wide variety of pickled foods lining the traditional houses.

The street food was fantastic, offering a range of local delicacies that are worth trying. One of the most famous dishes here is Negi Soba, where you eat soba noodles using a long green onion instead of chopsticks. While we found the price a bit high and decided to pass on it, it's still a unique and fun concept to see.

Don't miss the chance to climb the flight of stairs to the viewpoint above the village. From there, you get a breathtaking view of the entire town, which really shows off Ouchijuku’s historical beauty. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a cultural and scenic experience in Japan!

About

Ouchijuku Post Town is a charming spot that takes you back to the Edo Period in Japan. Located along the Aizu-Nishi Kaido trade route, this former post town offers a glimpse into history with its traditional thatched roof buildings and unpaved streets. Visitors can enjoy local specialties like soba noodles and roasted char fish while exploring the quaint shops and inns. Don't miss checking out the former Honjin, a high-ranking official's inn turned museum, and take a stroll to the shrine and temple for some peaceful vibes. It's like stepping into a time machine, but with modern amenities hidden away!
