Kiso is a historic region in central Japan, located in the Nagano Prefecture, known for its well-preserved post towns along the ancient Nakasendo trade route. This mountainous area is characterized by its traditional wooden architecture, deep valleys, and dense forests of Japanese cypress.

The Kiso Valley played a significant role during the Edo period (1603-1867) as part of the important trading route connecting Edo (modern-day Tokyo) with Kyoto. The area maintains strong cultural traditions, particularly in woodworking crafts, utilizing the high-quality timber from the Kiso Forest.

The region's cultural heritage is reflected in its historic inns (ryokan), traditional festivals, and local crafts, providing visitors with insights into Japan's pre-modern period.
