Traditional old merchants road

#wecreate This is at the Magome end of the Magome- Tsumago trail which is also known as the Nakasendo trail. This route runs along the Kiso Valley and connected Tokyo with Kyoto during the Edo Period. It was mostly used by merchants. It is about 8 kilometers long and takes approximately 2-3 hours to walk at a leisurely pace. However, I took around 4-5 hours to complete 🤭There are small shophouses at the magome end and nice soba~ There are some good views along the trail that you can enjoy ~

Magome

During the Edo period in Japan, the five main land transportation routes that started from Edo (present-day Tokyo) were called the Five Routes, and they were also known as the general term representing all of Japan at that time. The Nakasendo Road crosses the provinces of Musashi, Ueno, Shinano, Mino, Omi, and Yamashiro, with 69 post towns along the way, known as the Nakasendo 69 post towns. Magomejuku is one of the sixty-nine times of Nakasendo, ranking 43rd, and has retained the architectural style of the Edo period. Central Japan has always been an unpopular area for tourism. In fact, it is quite interesting to go hiking on the Nakasendo Road, and you can travel through history while walking.

Magome

Kiso Valley is located af south western Nagano, Japan, best known for Magome and Tsumago, beautifully preserved tradional villages. With one of the most famous hiking paths in all Japan, we set foot there on our quest for traditional Japan, away from temples and geisha sights. We highly recommend visiting the Kiso Valley, but a little preparation goes a long way. It’s important to have some historical and cultural knowledge and it’s useful to do a little planning because the area is a a bit remote and not as convenient as the bigger cities. Stunning forests, beautiful villages and traditions, we loved every minute we spent there and would recommend it to everyone interested in nature and history. #givethanks #givethanks
