Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Tokyo - Tsumago, Japan
Location: Tokyo, Tsumago
Meals Included: Dinner
Transfer to Nagome & Hike from Magome to Tsumago Today you will take the train from Tokyo to Nakatsugawa, including a ride on the world-famous Shinkansen (Bullet Train) to Nagoya. At Nakatsugawa, you will board a local bus for the short journey to Magome (local bus fare not included--approx. $5 USD). You will start your self-guided trek with a walk over Magome Pass to Tsumago, one of the best-preserved and most evocative of the Nakasendo post-towns. Spend the night at a family-run Minshuku in Tsumago or the nearby hamlet of O-Tsumago, with a flavourful home-cooked Japanese dinner. After dinner, enjoy a stroll through the village streets in the magical quiet of the evening, wearing the yukata gown supplied by your inn.
Day 2 : Tsumago - Nojiri, Japan
Location: Nojiri
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Hike from Tsumago to Nojiri Today is the longest day on the trail, with a beautiful and varied hike from Tsumago to Nojiri (or choose the shorter alternative to Nagiso instead). The trail travels through small valleys and past forests of bamboo and Japanese cedar, some of the least-developed scenery on the trek. Continue by train to Kiso-Fukushima. Stay at a lovely hot spring Ryokan set in a peaceful valley above the town (complimentary pick-up from the station is provided by the Ryokan). Enjoy the Ryokan’s lovely indoor and outdoor hot-spring baths.
Day 3 : Yabuhara - Tokyo, Japan
Location: Yabuhara, Tokyo
Meals Included: Breakfast
Hike from Yabuhara to Narai & Return Transfer to Tokyo The Ryokan will drive you back to Kiso-Fukushima after breakfast. Here you will catch the train for a short journey from Kiso-Fukushima to Yabuhara, the starting point for the hike over the Torii pass to Narai. Explore this atmospheric village before boarding your train for the journey onwards to Tokyo, where your adventure ends upon arrival in the late afternoon.
This morning in Kiso-Fukushima we offer an optional, fairly strenuous, circular walk to a local waterfall at no additional cost. The circular walk is 7km / 4.3 miles with 632m / 2,075 feet of ascent, 637m / 2,090 feet of descent and takes 2-3 hours. You can take this walk in the morning, before heading onwards to Yabuhara.
