Nakasendo Trail Winter Walking Holiday, Japan reviews
Read holiday reviews by Mountain Kingdoms travellers.
It was a walk through history lead by a knowledgeable enthusiastic guide. The homely accommodations got you close to getting to know Japanese cuisine and culture. The walking was challenging enough amidst a peaceful natural environment. The transport links worked well both on the trek and links to airports. Group members were from different countries which made for interesting conversations and understanding.
After the high-tech bustle of Japanese urban life, trekking the Nakasendo trail is like travelling back in time. The old postal towns have beautiful wooden architecture and in the winter the backdrop of snow covered mountains make walking there a joy. After the crisp, cold mountain air, relaxing in an onsen (spa bath) is a very special experience.
