Visiting Tsumago, a Medieval Town in Nagano

In this video, I was hired by a promotional agency in Nagoya to visit Tsumago.
Tsumago, a post town along the Nakasendo Trail, was one of the major routes between Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto during the age of the Samurai from the 17th to the 19th century. There are many shops of traditional crafts made from wood in Tsumago. You will also learn about the protectors of the cypress forest in Central Japan and about how wood items are made.
