This is what resonates with me as well,
I visited Japan first time in February and decided not to go by typical tourist guide. And booked ryokan Inn in middle of nakasendo trail. Didnt know before hand i have to walk the trial of nakasendo. I hiked and walked when the weather was still cold and not the season people would normally go for trial. But im glad i did it, amazing scenery and nature. Tokyo city and metropolis japan are nice but a true japan experience are those outside of cities life. Highly recommended
Thank you for sharing! Hiking the Nakasendo Way is on my to-do list!
It's totally worth it! Absolutely stunning trip.
Would love to meet people in their 60s who are interested in these walks. By fall 2023
0:01 "Japan is not a big country" is the first thing I hear when I start this video... It's only 9 times bigger than my country (The Netherlands)
Well, compared to China, US or Brazil ...
@@jirivit1672 Or Russia which is bigger than all of them
haha dit heb ik ook altijd
Wow this is an incredible video!
this is real JApan I wanna go to japan again.I was in Tokyo KYoto and Osaka in the city for 16 days but next time when I will go to Japan I will explore the countryside and hiking the mountain.
Japan is a sacred place for me, especially the Kansai area.
After watching this, I want to do Nakasendo walk.
It's a beautiful hike!
I've cycled along the Nakasendo and it was truly an amazing experience. Thanks for the video it was nice to revisit those places
Crazy how well maintained these houses are considering the look like mainly wood
Thank you so much for so much information and nice "behind the scenes".
I'm currently living in Japan and have been out hiking for some time now. Usually small day trips and a bit of camping, but to see the Nakasendo Way makes me feel planning a longer trip. Just being out in nature walking on those old roads that have been used from the Japanese for hundreds of years ago is an incredible feeling. That's why I like to go "off the path" some times, because you never know what kind of treasures you'll find.
Thanks again. Liked, subscribed and continue to follow!
Have a nice day.
Cheers,
Sina
I so wanna do this. One day for sure.
Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing!
Wow looks amazing.
Amazing video! Beautiful views!
Amazing to see the all places. Thanks for sharing 👍
I am hoping Japan will open to tourists again soon . I love Japan
Oh wow Japan is closed right now? A shame. I’d love to do this
Absolutely love this video. So informative and a wonderful tour guide. Will definitely visit this place. Thank you
wow i would love to do this one day!!! thank you for the lovely video, im glad to see all of this history is still being nourished and allowed to exist. absolutely breathtaking... 🌷 hope you are all well!
Watching this after our last Kyoto visit (2019) makes our hearts yearn to return... 💕
Perfect! Must do it
とても素敵なビデオとヒントをありがとう
Thanks for sharing a little bit of Japan. Walking must be the best way to get to know a place. Very beautiful. :-)
Thanks for this video! I stayed last month in Tsumago Juku, and it was every bit of lovely. Hope I get to know more of the Nakasendo Trail in my future Japan trips!
Have done the walk, spectacular.
Nice video, interesting commentary and beautiful views! A new fan from Canada
Thanks Takuya for sharing this, will love to share time in such trip.
Great video. What a special place. Japan definitely on my bucket list of destination. Thanks for sharing this.
It really is a wonderful place. Thanks for watching. Check out our other episode of Locals featuring a ramen tour of Tokyo!
Excellent! I hope I will walk there someday.
Very interesting hike Thanks for sharing

It's a wonderful place! Highly recommend a trip there!
great video!
Thanks! Thank you for watching!
Fantastic thank you, my dream is to travel one day to Japan and use a local guide like yourself to get the best experience 🙏
I just moved here, and found trails all over the kanagawa peninsula
どうもありがとうございました！This is AMAZING! This is exactly the kind of thing I would love to experience and to explore in any country, but especially in Japan. How long would it take to walk from Kyoto to Osaka?
I'm not sure about Kyoto to Osaka, but Walk Japan offers a walking tour from Kyoto to Tokyo and that takes 11 Days.
@@travelandleisure Thank you so much for your reply! I will look into it. :)
Hoping to do this when the pandemic is over and we are free to travel again
I am actually looking for a group/ tour to walk around with in Kyoto Nakasendo area. Its almost impossible to find
Wonderful trail. Could you share the route?
What's the latest time of year to comfortably do this hike?
how long does this walk take from start to finish?
Thank you for this video, I am intending to hike this section of Nakasendo in April. Is it possible to use Nakatsugawa as a base and do it as a few day walks and use the public transport to take us back to our base and forward to our last end point each day? (Although at least one night in that Inn looks advisable).
Great choice on this hike, you're going to have an incredible time. Using Nakatsugawa as a home base and doubling back each day is certainly possible, but might become tedious each day. The sections of the hike featured in this video are leisurely 4-6 hour hikes and if you know where you're staying each night, the owners of the inns will be able to arrange for your luggage to be couriered to you next destination.
@@travelandleisure Fantastic, thank you, I think at least one night at an Inn is a must do!
@@michaelfroger1816 absolutely and if for nothing else, it's a great experience... sleeping on the tatami mats, the multi-generational, family-run environment, the home cooked meals... it's really quite wonderful! Just be prepared that they are really like bed & breakfast-style lodgings. Shared bathrooms, no frills rooms, shared dining rooms. Be sure to look up some of the formalities and customs!
I'm hiking The Nakasendo after they open up from COVID restrictions.
Hello Takuya San, are you still working as a tour leader with Walk?
what season would you best recommend to start the Nakasendo way in?
Nice video,
I walk with a walkingtrailer. Can it be used on this trail?
FB kayak cobber
I d long-distance walking projects months in a row, so can I do all the time WildCamping in Japan or is asking to sleep in a garden also a option....
Arigato!
How far is the walk from Tsumago to Kiso Fukushima?
Whoa... Is this hike difficult?
It's very manageable. The most hiked in a day is 6 Miles (9.5 km).
Is it possible to walk from Kyoto to Tokyo without taking transportation?
I will return to Japan and teach international relations and English. Start my own school.
Hello How can we book this hiking trip ? Please advise.
This tour specifically is operated by Walk Japan!
ikitai.
Happy to finally find a video on traveling in Japan among all this Influencer bullshit
この人、英語上手いなあ。下手くそな英語を話す日本人が、さも得意気に英語を話す動画を良く見るが、この人のレベルだと嫌味がない。
''japan is not a big country'' *half the size of europe*
