Overview

Escape the crowds and step back in time on a private hike along the historic Nakasendo Trail. This custom trek takes you along the most scenic 8km section between Magome and Tsumago, beautifully preserved post towns from the Edo period. Stroll freely, explore old homes, or rest at a forest teahouse.

Activity itinerary

Nakasendo Magome-juku
  • 30m
Magome-juku – A Time Traveler’s Gateway Start your journey in Magome-juku, a beautifully preserved post town once bustling with merchants and warriors. Stroll cobbled paths past traditional wooden inns and spinning waterwheels, and feel history beneath your feet. Breathe in the scent of grilled mochi, hear the creak of old floorboards, and look out across the rolling Kiso Valley—just as Edo-period travellers once did.
Juri
  • 1h
Juri – Taste the Soul of the Mountains Pause for lunch at Juri, a beloved local eatery in Magome. Here, savour kurikomameshi, a chestnut rice dish praised since the 1800s. With every bite, you taste tradition. Dine like a travelling poet or a weary samurai, surrounded by the rustic charm of an old mountain village.
Ikkokutochi Tateba Tea House
  • 15m
Thatched-roof Teahouse – A Quiet Moment in Time Hidden along the trail, this thatched-roof teahouse offers a peaceful stop surrounded by forest. Sip hot tea, rest your feet, and imagine the stories shared here by travellers centuries ago. The atmosphere is still, serene, and steeped in quiet dignity.
Odaki-Medaki Waterfalls
  • 15m
Along the historic Nakasendo Trail, these twin waterfalls stand as a symbol of balance and harmony. Their contrasting flows embody the forces of nature and have long inspired travellers—including the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi.
Nakasendo Tsumagojuku
  • 30m
️Tsumago-juku – Live Edo-Era Life End your journey in Tsumago-juku, one of the best-preserved post towns in Japan. No cars. No neon lights. Just cobbled lanes, lantern-lit inns, and locals who still greet visitors with Edo-period hospitality. Snack on gohei mochi, explore craft shops filled with washi paper, and stroll streets where history is not just remembered—it’s lived.
