Ogi-Juku Post Town — Edo Period Highway Rest Stop

Ogi was a major rest stop on the Nagasaki Kaido highway — the road connecting Nagasaki to Edo used by Dutch traders making their annual journey to pay tribute to the Shogun. The samurai district (buke-yashiki) is partially intact with stone walls and gated compound entrances; the merchant district (machiya-dori) contains six consecutive merchant houses from the 1800s, several still operating as shops or cafés.
