We hiked Japan’s Nakasendo Samurai Trail from Magome to Narai — a 2-day journey through historic post towns, forest passes, and a hidden onsen. This is the Nakasendo Trail — one of Japan’s ancient Edo-period highways, once traveled by samurai, merchants, and messengers between Kyoto and Edo (now Tokyo). Unlike the busy tourist circuits, this is a self-guided hike through timeless villages, misty forests, and mountain paths, blending nature, culture, and peace. In this episode, we hiked a stunning section of the Nakasendo Way, traveling smart with luggage delivery, trail trains, and local food stops. Whether you're looking for a Nakasendo itinerary, a solo hike, or a unique Japan travel guide — this one’s for you.
