Street and Stone Lantern in Narai-juku, Nagano Prefecture, Japan


A stone lantern at a Shinto shrine overlooks the main street in Narai-juku, Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Narai-juku is preserved to look as it did when it was one of the stations on the Nakasendo and Kisoji post roads, which were important trade routes during Japan's Edo Period.
