Activity itinerary

Nakasendo Magome-juku

Magome-juku – A Time Traveler’s Gateway Start your journey in Magome-juku, a beautifully preserved post town once bustling with merchants and warriors. Stroll cobbled paths past traditional wooden inns and spinning waterwheels, and feel history beneath your feet. Breathe in the scent of grilled mochi, hear the creak of old floorboards, and look out across the rolling Kiso Valley—just as Edo-period travelers once did.

Juri

Juri – Taste the Soul of the Mountains Pause for lunch at Juri, a beloved local eatery in Magome. Here, savor kurikomameshi, a chestnut rice dish praised since the 1800s. With every bite, you taste tradition. Dine like a traveling poet or a weary samurai, surrounded by the rustic charm of an old mountain village.

Ikkokutochi Tateba Tea House

Thatched-roof Teahouse – A Quiet Moment in Time Hidden along the trail, this thatched-roof teahouse offers a peaceful stop surrounded by forest. Sip hot tea, rest your feet, and imagine the stories shared here by travelers centuries ago. The atmosphere is still, serene, and steeped in quiet dignity.

Odaki-Medaki Waterfalls

Along the historic Nakasendo Trail, these twin waterfalls stand as a symbol of balance and harmony. Their contrasting flows embody the forces of nature and have long inspired travelers—including the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi.

Nakasendo Tsumagojuku

️Tsumago-juku – Live Edo-Era Life End your journey in Tsumago-juku, one of the best-preserved post towns in Japan. No cars. No neon lights. Just cobbled lanes, lantern-lit inns, and locals who still greet visitors with Edo-period hospitality. Snack on gohei mochi, explore craft shops filled with washi paper, and stroll streets where history is not just remembered—it’s lived.
