The original Nakasendo Trail is over 330 miles long and some parts of it can be traced back to the 7th Century. Nakasendo literally translates as ‘central or inner mountain path’ and it’s easy to see why it was so called. The route cuts through some of the most incredible mountain scenery, taking in forests, rivers, temples, and townships. Walk these trails and you’ll be retracing the steps of ancient royalty. Here, you’ll find traditional cobbled streets, tea houses, and accommodation, where locally grown seasonal produce is always on the menu.
