Samurai Trail Teahouse

The old Samurai Trail (aka Nakasendo Trail) between Kyoto and Tokyo passed through 64 post-towns. Between Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku in the Kiso Valley is a teahouse - a handy stop and a photo opportunity, thanks to the wood fire.

About Artist

Michael Deveney

Currently retired in Thailand, having worked for extended periods here as well as in Vietnam and Japan. My two photoblogs capture my experiences over the years in pictures and in words. Different approaches were taken with one concentrating more on the words (photoriente.com), and the other being more about the photos (orientalmedley.com).
