Highlights of Unnojuku
静けさと今風の生活感が同居する海野宿 (Insta360X4)
海野宿（うんのじゅく）は、長野県東御市本海野にある、江戸時代における北国街道の宿場の呼称である。現在も通りの両側に約100棟の家が連なり江戸時代の旅籠屋造りや茅葺き屋根の建物と、明治以降蚕室造りの建物とが調和した伝統的な家並が魅力です。歴史的な町並みを形成しており、「日本の道100選」のひとつにも選ばれています。
道の中央を流れる用水。その両側に立ち並ぶ格子戸の美しい家並みは、歴史を想わせる静かな佇まいを感じます。

The streets of Unnojuku include buildings in the style of Edo period inns, thatched roofed buildings, and rugged buildings used for raising silkworms from after the Meiji era, all well-harmonized together to form a traditional line of houses.
Water flowing in the middle of the road, with beautiful houses covered with latticed doors lined up on both sides, gives a quiet and peaceful feel reminiscent of the town’s history.
In addition, the area around Shiratori Shrine, the god of Unnojuku, tells the history of the shrine, at the center of which is a zelkova tree that is over 700 years old. In the annual festival every April the old custom of twelve large banners being lined up along the road is still practiced.
Unnojuku Fureiai festival is held on November 23, when period costumes and rickshaws are brought out and the bustle of the inaugural post office is revitalized.
