The Historic Nakasendo Trail
The Nakasendo trail in the Kiso Valley connects Edo-era history with stunning mountain scenery. Explore preserved post towns like Magome and Tsumago, stay in traditional inns, and taste gohei-mochi – a beloved local specialty.
Note: Prototype shows a Japan-wide version
Beyond the trail lies Nakatsugawa, the gateway to the Kiso Valley.
This historic town is surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery and offers much more than its Edo-era post towns. From Mt. Ena’s panoramic views and the serene Tsukechi Gorge to chestnut sweets like kurikinton and the beloved gohei-mochi, Nakatsugawa brings together history, nature and local flavors in one unforgettable destination.
