the Historic Nakasendo Trail 🥾

#hikingtrails The hike is easy and accessible, and it took us about an hour to complete. Experience the charm of old Japan by hiking the Nakasendo Road, particularly the scenic stretch from Tsumago-juku to Nagiso Station. This historic trail, once a vital route connecting Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto, offers stunning views of traditional post towns, serene forests, and picturesque countryside. Along the way, you'll be immersed in the peaceful beauty of rural Japan, passing through well-preserved sections of the ancient road, quaint wooden houses, and breathtaking nature. The hike is gentle and perfect for those looking for a mix of history, culture, and nature. ‼️Pro tip: Since there are bears in the area, it's wise to bring something that makes noise, like a bell (you can also rent one in the villages). #100waysoftravel #traveljapan #nakasendo #nakasendotrailfromnagoya
