From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ōuchi-juku (大内宿, Ōuchi-juku) was a small post station in Japan's Edo period and part of the Aizu Nishi Kaidō.[1] It is now located in the town of Shimogō in Minamiaizu District, Fukushima Prefecture, and is famous for the numerous traditional thatched buildings from the Edo Period that line its main street.[2]
Ōuchi-juku was an important post town whose buildings served as shops, inns and restaurants for travellers. Many buildings have been preserved as they were before the Meiji Restoration,[2] and the area has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. The village is now a popular tourist attraction.[3]
