Midono-juku (三留野宿, Midono-juku) was the forty-first of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō, as well as the ninth of eleven stations on the Kisoji. It is located in the present-day town of Nagiso, in the Kiso DistrictofNagano Prefecture, Japan. It was originally written as 御殿宿 (Midono-juku).[1]
The northern part of Nagiso Station marks the original location of Midono-juku. However, after a large fire in 1881 that destroyed many of the buildings,[1] the town decided to develop rail connections and moved Midono-juku to its present location. Throughout the town, you can find representative buildings of Edo, Meiji, Taishō and Shōwa periods,[2] including the remains of a large electric station from the Taishō period.[3]
