You get on the Chuo Expressway and head inland toward Nagano. The area where Aichi and Nagano Prefectures meet, known as the Kiso Valley, is a natural wonderland of forests and ravines.

Question: The Kiso Valley was on the old road that ran from Edo (now Tokyo) to Kyoto, the old capital. People traveling along the road would stay at the many inns in the area as they made their way on foot across Japan. Trips back then took many days, and the road was divided into segments to be traveled one per day. What number stop was the group of inns in the Kiso Valley on the trip from Edo to Kyoto?


  1. The 42nd stop
