Hiking into history – Japan’s celebrated Nakasendo trail and the old post towns along the way

Model course :
3 Days 2 Nights

In the Edo era (1603-1868) Nakasendo (lit. “central mountain route”) was one of a number of formal trade routes developed to connect Kyoto with Edo, as Tokyo was then called. Part of this route stretches from Niekawa-juku in Nagano Prefecture to Magome-juku in neighboring Gifu. Known as Kisoji, this much older trail strings together eleven rest stations (or post towns) that today are much visited for their old-world ambience and mountain vistas.
