Tsumago (Nagano Prefecture) Tsumago is in the Kiso Valley, a place renowned for hiking. This is one of the last stage cities that lined along the Nakasendo road. This road linked Kyoto to Edo by the interior (the Tokaido, most famous, followed the shoreline). The official or private travelers stopped in many hostels and relays met along the way.
