Enjoying beautiful town walk through the Shiozawa-juku! From the web site; Shiozawa-juku flourished as a post town along the Mikuni Highway connecting Edo and Echigo, and developed as a production center for specialty textiles such as Echigo Jofu (Important Intangible Cultural Property) and Shiozawa Tsumugi (Traditional Craft). It is also known as one of the heaviest snowfall areas in the country.

Quite an interesting spot. Well maintained. Interesting shops. Not 100% "観光地" feeling - it still has a sense of "生活感". Only need a few hours. Plan to see with other attractions in the area. Late afternoon might be nice when it gets quiet. Then head to an onsen nearby.

If you have time, you can come to enjoy the feeling of historical street. But not a place you really have to visit!

This is a street on the old road between Gunma and Niigata that has been restored to give an impression of how it looked in the past. It was just a rundown postwar shopping street, so it is definitely improved … also many of the old shops moved into the new buildings. That's why although there are some tourist-oriented shops like cafe, ramen, sake brewery shop, and souvenirs, it's not really super touristy. People looking for something to 'do' may be disappointed, but I found it nice to spend an hour wandering around.
