Imaichi Stone Pavement, quietly lying in the Imaichi district of Oita City, is a prestigious, master historical site designated as a national historic site, extending about 660 meters, which captures the historic stories of the “Old Higo Highway” built in the Edo period and conveys them to the modern era. Sturdy stone walls and old streetscapes that preserve the footprints of the era when many samurai traveled for “Sankin-kotai” (daimyo’s alternate attendance) remain, inviting travelers into a romantic world beyond time the moment you step inside. Walking slowly at your own pace along the old stone pavement wrapped in deep silence stimulates your intellectual curiosity and brings broad, deep peace to your mind, away from urban noise. It is an optimal spot for an intellectual, academic travel experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
