The Shin-etsu Trail runs for 80 kilometers along the border between Nagano and Niigata Prefectures, following the path of the Sekida Mountain ridge.The hiking season is from June to November. Located in one of the world’s snowiest regions, mountainous areas are buried under as much as 8 meters of snow in winter.It’s thanks to this snowfall that visitors to the trail can enjoy the wealth of nature our area has to offer.The forests are perhaps best known for their beech trees.Tall, well-shaped beech trees form a corridor of green along the path.The packed-earth trail also makes for easy walking.
Hiking the entire trail takes five days and four nights.For day trips, visitors are invited to try one of the trail’s six sections.Even those who hike only a small part of the trail are sure to have a great experience!Spring and autumn are especially good times to visit the trail.In spring, the last traces of snow can be seen among new greenery and flowers bursting into bloom. In the fall, hikers can enjoy the brilliant colors of autumn leaves.
From Tokyo, it takes about two hours to reach Iiyama Station, Kanazawa is just another hour away. We hope to see you on the Shinetsu Trail soon!
