Nakasendo Way Tours and Tickets

We had a nice day with our guide Yasuhiro who helped us to navigate between Magome and Tsumago villages and made this day a memorable one. All was very well settled and perfectly organised, the trip was very smooth and we just enjoyed it. Best regards to Yasuhiro! Lee and Peeter from Estonia

The hike was a lot of fun. There’s plenty of photo ops. My guide, Matt, was very knowledgeable and shared interesting history about the trail and it’s purpose. He also hooked us up with a nice bento from a restaurant which we ate at an old public tea house. There’s plenty of history along the way.

My husband & I had the most interesting, wonderful & enjoyable hike on the Magome & Tsumago Nakasendo Trail in Kiso Valley with our bubbly and highly experienced guide Yumi-San who patiently explained & gave us all the significant historical, cultural & local insights to the places we visited....all in perfect English. The air was so fresh, scenery beautiful with a clear view of the Ena mountain. The trail took us almost 5 hours to complete as we stopped frequently for photos and had a couple of refreshment breaks. The calm & peaceful environment of Kiso Valley made the walk so much more relaxing and we could see & experience all elements of nature - different kinds of flora & foliage, waterfalls, rivers, rocks, steps, ancient bridges and some ice & snow along the way which we had to carefully manoeuvre across. We also saw many ricefields & ancient houses, buildings (some of which were in existence since the Edo period & some around 120 yrs old) in the post towns of Magome & Tsumago. Post towns are used by travellers during the Edo period for rest. We definitely want to come back to Kiso Valley again during spring or autumn to see it with different colours of the season, and definitely with Yumi-San as our guide
