The Waki- Honjin was the second most splendid inn in the post-town, and has served by the Hayashi family for generations. It is called “Okuya”. The current building was rebuilt in 1877 after the ban on Kiso Goboku (the five famous kinds of trees in Kiso) was lifted.
It was opened to the public as the core of Tsumago-juku preservation in 1967, and was designated as a National Important Cultural Property in 2001. In the back storehouse, a wealth of folk materials related to Waki-honjin and materials related to Toson Shimazaki literature are exhibited.
