The Nakasendo Trail served as a key route in feudal
Japan's roads, which connected Kyoto and Edo,
known as Tokyo today. Merchants and travelers would
spend multiple days along the Nakasendo, staying in
small post towns overnight or even to rest during the
day. Many of these post towns have been well
preserved, allowing you to experience the history and
culture of past Japan. On this tour, we will explore
parts of the Nakasendo Trail, traveling through the
Kiso Valley. Enjoy nature, temples and shrines, and
quaint villages as we trek through a piece of Japanese
history. Join All Japan Tours and your English-
speaking guide, as we travel and hike from village-to-
village along forested trails, resting overnight at family-
run inns, and enjoying local cuisine and hospitality.
We will start our 8-day guided Nakasendo tour in
Kyoto, where the trail begins. Enjoy sightseeing
around the ancient city during a guided half-day tour.
During our time in Kyoto, we will enjoy day trips to the
nearby cities of Nara and Kurama. In each city, we will
hike through small villages, enjoy the rural landscape,
and take in the amazing scenery. Our journey then
takes us on the bullet train to Kiso Valley, where we
will start in the post town of Magome. Travel through
well-preserved post towns of Tsumago and Narai by
walking along the ancient route as travelers did long
ago. Along the path, we will enjoy stunning forests,
small shrines, and will stay at small country inns. From
Narai, travel to Matsumoto, home to Matsumoto
Castle, one of twelve original castles in Japan. Enjoy a
night in Matsumoto before heading to Tokyo, where
our tour will officially end.
