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.

This historic musuem gave us a peek into how the locals live during the Edo period. The Honjin and Waki-honjin were luxurious buildings constructed along the post towns of the Nakasendo highway for government officials travelling the route. Most of the travellers making the journey between Edo and Kyoto were normal people such as traders, so the Honjin and Waki-honjin were used to put up the daimyo, or feudal lords, with Emperor Meiji himself once taking a visit in 1880. Reflecting its surrounding nature, the Waki-honjin was constructed from cypress trees with the interior filled with high quality tatami mats. While the Waki-honjin musuem was less important than the Honjin and used as a secondary inn, today it is the most impressive of the two not only for housing the largest collection of historical displays but also thanks to the positioning of the beams in the ceiling where the sun shines through in the afternoon creating a mystical atmosphere. We paid 700 yen to visit the two museums inside the Waki-honjin which comprise several different rooms housing everything from 200-year-old historical documents and typical Edo period clothing to a high class lavatory designed specifically for the emperor.

What a surprise to find a large and well curated museum behind the small street frontage. This is not a collection of rusting memorabilia, but a properly conserved and archived treasure trove of history. The museum spans several buildings across the street too. The staff were very helpful and made the whole experience even more worthwhile, with detailed stories of the history of the main buildings and the people who lived there and their very distinguished visitors. Like other reviewers I won’t spoil the surprise!! Enough English signs on the exhibits to make the displays and explanations meaningful for non- Japanese speakers / readers. Very well worth while spending a couple of hours.

This suspension bridge is made of wood - apart from the concrete towers which hold it up. There is s nice circular walk from the railway station across the bridge and back around into the centre of the village. There are a few cafes opposite the station serving light refreshments and lunches. Highly recommended
