Japan
Shimosuwa, Japan connects to 2963 places across 8 topics through 13 Bunkabop connections, anchored in its Edo-period role as a highway junction and in Shinto traditions. Shimosuwa-shuku stood as the 29th station on the Nakasendo highway between Edo and Kyoto and also served the Koshu Kaido route. The town is home to natural onsen and a Shinto ceremony in which logs are dragged from the mountains to local shrines. Architect Toyo Ito spent his childhood years in Shimosuwa. Its strongest shared ties are with Hakone, Takasaki, and Annaka.
