Nakasendo Tsumagojuku

This historic footpath through the Kiso Valley connects the villages of Tsumago and Magome. The partially paved trail is approximately 8 kilometers in length and passes by several historic and natural wonders.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day walk through the Kiso valley on the Nakasendo trail. Mac's Adventures( in partnership with Oku) was the company we used and everything - accommodation, food, walking notes and country and village scenery - was above expectation.Would recommend this walk to those who like to walk on trails that are not busy ( only the first day to Tsumago had quite a few walkers) and have an interest in Japanese culture.

Akasawa Natural Recreational Forest

The Akasawa Natural Recreational Forest is a coniferous forest, covering the southwest of Agematsu Town. The forest spreads over 728 ha, and varies in elevation from 1,080 m near the parking area, up to 1,558 m. Designated as a National Forest, this region has been spared the planned felling conducted in other areas according to the national forestry policy. Afforded protection by clans in the Edo Era, in the Meiji Era the forest came under the ownership of the imperial family and became the source for wood used in the construction of Ise Shrine. In the post-war period, the forest was designated as a National Forest, a protection that continues to this day. In 1970, the area was opened at the country’s first ‘natural recreational forest’, and saw nationally proposed forest events held for the first time in 1982. The Kiso Forest Railway began operating in 1987.
