Driving a car on R142 southwestward, you would find Wadajuku Station on the west side of the road.
  You would use its parking space for your car to walking around Wada town, for there are few spaces for parking a car there. To get into there it is useful to go over the wooden bridge corridor for a shortcut.

  In the hall of the station they keep a shop for selling the local products, for example vegetables, mushrooms and fruits or so, as well as a restaurant which sevices food for us. They are very popular. Many tourists come here everyday.



  The station is a base for walking the stage- town of Nakasendo. Also Many tourist and truck-drivers use it for taking rest before getting over Wadatoge pass.
  As I mentioned above, the shortcut-way to the town or its townhall from here is the wooden bridge pavement. It gets across over the national road to lead us the point southward 100 meters away from the town hall and southeastward 300meters way from Honjin. The picture beneath shows a view of thw town from the bridge.



  Nakasendo road and the town are the bottom of a ravine between two long ridge line. One is a skyline continues to Utsukushigahara highlands and onother is that to Kirigamine highlands. By the way Utsukushigahara means the beautiful fields and Kirigamine does the foggy summit.
  The picture upper on the left side shows the ridge line running on the west side of the ravine. The downer shows creeping on the east side.
  Wadajuku Station is on a foot of the ridge at center of the former pictute. Most of public halls and tourist institutions get together around it.
  Well, shall we visit some of them starting from here go acrros Yodagawa river.
