The Full Nakasendo Trail, Part 2: Nagano Prefecture 中山道の歩き旅・長野県
Experience Japanese history by walking the Nakasendo Trail. Episode 2 follows me from Karuizawa to Magome as I walk across Nagano Prefecture. This video begins with a recap of Episode 1 from Tokyo to Gunma, but don’t miss the end as we arrive in Magome-juku. Be sure to watch the preview of the exciting finale, Episode 3.

What was your favorite part of the Nakasendo and any towns that you want to visit again?
Did the Nakasendo back in August – watching these vids has made me particularly nostalgic. You were lucky with only the one leech from the Usui pass. I ended up with THREE in my shoes! That pass I figured out you could literally stop and stand still and watch them come out of the ground and approach you like some sort of horror movie.
Also: I did see bears. Not anywhere with those installed posts but fortunately on the other side of Kisogawa so they are about.
It definitely brought up a lot of memories watching this. Loved hearing about the trips to the creek!! Fun times!!
I love these videos! We visited Japan in March and it was awesome. We were mostly in popular touristy destinations. I dream one day I can walk at least around some parts of the Nakasendo trail.
ahh finally! looking forward to threading those same steps.
