Nakasendo Tsumagojuku
After a quick stop at a roadside rest stop to stretch our legs, we will arrive at Tsumago-juku post town. Here your guide will explain the history and significance of the area and the Nakasendo trail before setting off on our hike.
Nakasendo Tsumagojuku
We will then set off on our hike down the Nakasendo trail—one of five ancient roads connecting the de facto capital of Edo (Tokyo) with other regions in Japan. The trail was most prominent during the Edo era. Today, most of the original Nakasendo has been lost to time or converted into modern highways and railway lines. However, the section of the trail we will hike remains relatively unchanged from the time of the samurai. You will even see segments of the trail with original cobblestone. The hike will also take you by two waterfalls—the perfect place to catch your breath, feel the cool mist on your face, and stop for lunch. Recharged, we will continue our hike past a lone teahouse run by a local volunteer. You’re welcome to stop here for a sip of tea or exchange stories with other travelers.

5.00Emily was our guide. I can’t remember the driver’s name. Both were friendly, polite and efficient. I liked the option of hiking or riding the van. I hiked in the beginning of the trail and rode the van for the last portion.
Great day trip from Nagoya!

5.00From start to finish we had a wonderful tour guided by Mir. He is friendly and knowledgeable, not just about the history of Japan but the surrounding mountains and nature. Nakamishi-san is also an excellent and friendly driver, we greatly appreciated bypassing public transit to get to this more rural area quickly. There was a rest stop on the way where we picked up lunch, including some of the more iconic dishes of the area. Our tour of the Nakasendo trail connecting Tsumago-juku to Magome-juku was very informative and serene. We valued having Mir as a guide, explaining historical significance and customs we would have been oblivious to otherwise. It was also helpful to know which route to take on the trail to view the waterfalls, scenic hidden side trails, and to not get lost on the unsigned areas. We set a comfortable pace and still had plenty of time to enjoy the shops at Magome-juku before our drive home. Thank you for a wonderful experience Mir and Nakamishi-san!

5.00Great trip out of the city and an intimate brush with Japanese history. The 8km hike wasn’t too demanding and I loved our quick stops to the trail tea house and to take in some great views. My guides Kim and Rebecca were kind and informative as to the history of the trail and the connecting towns and recommended great souvenirs. The van driver was safe and courteous. I would certainly take another trip like this!
Amazing day on the Nakasendo trail

5.00I had a wonderful experience hiking the Nakasendo Trail between Tsumago and Nakatsugawa. Our guide was extremely kind and knowledgeable, and shared many interesting anecdotes throughout the hike, which made the experience even more engaging. We walked at a very comfortable pace with plenty of breaks to catch our breath and enjoy the scenery. The landscape was beautiful and peaceful, and we could hear the soothing sound of water along much of the trail, which made the walk even more relaxing. We were also lucky to have amazing sunny weather that day. The two post towns were very picturesque, with traditional buildings and a charming atmosphere that really made us feel like we had stepped back in time. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover the beauty and history of the Nakasendo Trail.
Thoroughly Worth It

5.00Kim, Rebecca, and Iwasaki-san were great! The tour was well-organized and on time (though I was traveling solo so it was much easier to coordinate the schedule based on what I was interested in). The views on the trail were spectacular and I learned so much about the history of the trail - I highly recommend.
Casual trek back in time!
