This 5 day walking holiday section of the trails runs through some of the most beautiful Edo architecture and forests of central Japan.

The final Nakasendō day through the Yogawa-michi trail from Nagiso for a scenic walk. To celebrate, a train to Narai for a decadent ryokan.

The most famous section of Nakasendō! Two beautiful post towns with a beautiful historic route connecting them.

A residential section of Nakasendo with many places to eat and shop. We also met a fellow Nakasendo-er on their first walking hgoliday.

A beautiful section through the mountains and forests from Hiyoshicho to Ena. This leg is known for it's mountain passes and shrines.

Walking through rice fields glistening in the sun, mountain trails that look like scenes from fair tale and remote post towns from the past.

Cozy, homey, and unique; Japan's café culture is worth experiencing. Here are some of our favorite from our 2023 trip.

Low lighting, good listening, and some drinks. A great escape from the busy cities in Japan to enjoy something special.

The D.I.N.Ks hike Mount Yufu and enter an eerie land of fog, frost and ghosts.

Yufu is an idyllic, rural, popular tourist village, we found by accident. We experience ryokans, sukiyaki and a life changing egg breakfast.
