Nowadays, the village has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and seems to be a popular tourist destination. Visiting this site allows you to step back in time and enjoy an experience somewhat similar to what travelers would have experienced hundreds of years ago. Except for the souvenir shops, most of the original inns and restaurants are still providing the same services they did during the Edo Period.
Here are some links to websites with more details and useful access information:
