Ōuchi-juku
Ōuchi-juku (大内宿, Ōuchi-juku) was a small post station in Japan's Edo period and part of the Aizu Nishi Kaidō.[1] It is now located in the town of Shimogō in Minamiaizu District, Fukushima Prefecture, and is famous for the numerous traditional thatched buildings from the Edo Period that line its main street.[2]
