Hiking Japan's ancient and legendary highway | 8KM hike, Magome-juku to Tsumago-juku | Solo Travel 🥾

NAKASENDO, Japan’s ancient and legendary highway, once traveled by samurai, feudal lords, sometimes members of the Imperial family, and many others, is now a popular hiking trail for travelers who love off-the-beaten path. ⛰️
Our hike starts at the beautifully-preserved post-town of Magome-juku (Gifu Prefecture) to another historic and stunning post-town, Tsumago-juku (Nagano Prefecture).
In this 8km hike, I will be taking you through forests and secluded villages and to an adventure that's good for the heart and soul. ♥️

------------------------------------------------
TIPS:
✅ Stay at least for a night in one of the post-towns. Inns here are quite difficult to book so make sure that you check way in advance.
✅ If you're hiking from Magome-juku and staying in Tsumago-juku, for the night, you can avail of the baggae transfer service arrangement between Magome and Tsumago Tourist Information Centers so you can hike Nakasendo hands-free. Rate is JPY1000 per bag or luggage.
✅ There's no fee to hike the Nakasendo so this activity is definitely budget-friendly. But please observe rules and regulations such not drinking/eating on the trail, not littering, etc

[@stutidey5902]

Hey, great video! How much time did it take realistically for you to complete the trek with taking breaks and enjoying spots along the trail?

[@katherinechua214]

Thank you for this beautiful, informative vlog. I am pondering if i will be brave enough to do the trail by myself.

[@SukiinEconomy]

Thank you so much! 😊♥️ Go for it! You can do it! 💪🏼When in Magome, you will find travelers going to the direction of the trail. Just follow them and trail behind them, that’s what I did. Then I met more travelers along the way. There are travelers hiking the Nakasendo almost every day. All the best! 😊

Nice video, when was the time you shot this video? Which month, just wondering will there be any fall colors end of this month...

[@SukiinEconomy]

Hello, thanks! I’m glad you liked it! 😊 This was around end of November. I think it’s still summer feels in Japan right now so maybe late October is the safest or early November. Nevertheless, this place is still stunning without the autumn foliage ♥️

[@aobattsph]

Great video! Will be doing the trail on October!

[@SukiinEconomy]

Awesome! I’m sure you will have a great time 👌🏼I’m happy you liked it - thanks! 😊
