The Nakasendo was one of the five major highways linking Edo (as Tokyo was then called) to the provinces. Established by the Tokugawa Shoguns, the Nakasendo – the road through the mountains – weaves its way along the mountain valleys that sit between Tokyo and Kyoto. Our walk concentrates on a lovely 4-day section in the Kiso Valley, where the best preserved post-towns – known as juku – are found.
This video shows scenes from the trail, the accommodations, food, and map.
