Experience the historic Nakasendo trail through the mountains, connecting modern-day Tokyo and Kyoto. I visited the Nakasendo, one of five roads, called Gokaido, which were built to connect Japan to the capital of Edo, Tokyo, several hundreds of years ago. Covering around 534 kilometres and 69 sukubamachi, or post stations, the Nakasendo is home to some of the most beautiful and traditional Japanese architecture and nature. Due to its difficult terrain, The Nakasendo is often not traveled as the other four routes, meaning much of its history and tradition is untouched. People often visit famous towns to get a glimpse into what life used to be like all those hundreds of years ago. The most famous section of the Nakasendo lies between Narai-juku, Magome and Tsumago post towns, which I’ll be exploring along with Ryotaro (from Ryotaro’s Japan YouTube channel) and Sharla (from Sharmeleon YouTube Channel). *For the purpose of video shooting, we did not visit the stops in chronological order If you are interested in learning about this trip more visually, visit my YouTube video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY5uZWFc_UQ&t=1137s&ab_channel=AbroadinJapan Check out Ryotaro’s YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/ryotarosjapan Check out Sharmeleon’s YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@sharlainjapan
