Walk the Nakasendo Trail – Where History Meets Nature
Step into Japan’s timeless heart.
The Nakasendo Trail between Magome and Tsumago is more than just a hike—it's a journey through living history. Walk where samurai once traveled, breathe in the cedar-scented mountain air, and listen to the quiet rhythm of the forest. This scenic trail blends the serenity of nature with the soul of the Edo period.
It’s not just a walk—it’s a story you become part of.

Along the way, discover charming stops that bring the past to life:

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 travelers once did.

️Juri – Taste the Soul of the Mountains
Pause for lunch at Juri, a beloved local eatery in Magome.
Here, savor kurikomameshi, a chestnut rice dish praised since the 1800s. With every bite, you taste tradition. Dine like a traveling poet or a weary samurai, surrounded by the rustic charm of an old mountain village.

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 travelers centuries ago. The atmosphere is still, serene, and steeped in quiet dignity.

️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.

✨ This is more than a hike—it’s an invitation to slow down, connect, and experience Japan the way travelers did 200 years ago.
