Every time I stay at this house I find myself making photos.

Both sides of the fence.
Naraijuku (奈良井宿) on the Kisoji/Nakasendo, central Japan.
I walked the Kisoji a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. https://seanbreslin.jp/?s=kisoji

It's all very well and good to photograph in the city, but it's more difficult to start a conversation there.
After my hike last week, we stayed at a friend's house in Agematsu along the Kisoji. My daughter and I hung around outside the house and struck up a conversation with these two men. Both of them remembered Masaharu Sawada (沢田正春), a photographer from years ago who did a project on the Kisoji long before anyone else.

A couple more from Ōkuwa in Nagano.

Old Japanese photography books are probably my favourite of all. So much to learn. These are of photographs taken on the Kiso-ji between 1919-1992.
Two by Sawada Masaharu (沢田正春) and the other by Yoshida Binshou (吉田敏昭). I walked it last year and plan to do it again looking out for some of the same locations in these books.

Not sure whether this post makes me sound like a cop out but it's how I felt while walking the Kiso-ji last year.

Walking the Kiso-ji (Kiso Valley section of the Nakasendo) in Nagano/Gifu last year and late 2020 when there was nobody else around.
