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.

Wonderful way to experience the beautiful trail as a day trip from Nagoya, both guides, Emily and Kim, were friendly and managed the group well, and Iwasaki-san drove us safely there and back.

Camille and Iwasaki-san were both really good. Camille was very friendly and knowledgeable. The walk was really fun (not too challenging, not too easy) and we saw some beautiful scenery. The tour started with a pick up from the station at half 9. We then did an hour and a half drive to the start of the walk, then walked for about 3-4 hours, before finishing with an hour in the post town at the end. Would recommend, very good value for money. Thanks Camille :)

Our guide, Pola, was full of energy and enthusiasm. She was very keen on reading the individual needs and tried hard to make sure everyone felt included. She made sure that the stragglers in the group had an opportunity to hear everything thing by repeating things for them. The tour was well thought out by ending up in Magome with ample time to shop afterwards. It was nice hike through Japanese mountains and walking the historic trail took us back in time. Just be aware that it is has long stretches of uphill and downhill. The only thing that I would say could have been better was a bus with more leg room for the long drive. I’m tall and had to sit sideways the whole trip.
