Why Travelers Love This
Have a good trip along the Nakasendo Trail in the Edo period with such a popular licensed English guide. Nakasendo Trail is a route that connects Edo and Kyoto, where Samurai used to walk along this trail. It retains the views of ancient times and lets you feel like you are going on a samurai journey, so hiking on the Nakasendo trail is very popular among overseas tourists! On the way to the trail, there are lots of sites that make you refresh. For example, Magome Pass, waterfalls, and Ichikokutochi Tatebachaya for resting place, which changes their atmosphere depending on the seasons. ※This tour will run even in the rain. (In the event of severe weather, the tour may be cancelled to ensure the safety of our guests.) ※This tour is closed during the winter season (December to February).
