One Day Trip: Kiso Valley (Magome - Tsumago)

Do you know Kiso Valley (Tsumago-Magome) ?

Magome(馬籠) and Tsumago(妻籠) are former lodging towns along the Nakasendo path that once connected Kyoto and Edo. These are beautiful towns that still deeply reflect the memories of the lodging areas of the Edo period. The 9 kilometer road that connects the two lodging towns has been well preserved over time, and tour participants can experience the history of the samurais that walked this path many years ago. The simple natural atmosphere of the cobblestone streets, the tea shops along the pass, and the nostalgic agricultural areas can be enjoyed through this hike.

This area has well preserved old houses, beautiful stone pavement and deep nature.
Acrossing from Tsumago to Magome is popular thing to do in Japan.

However, the access to the area was a little bit complicated.
Normally, you needed to transfar buses and trains twice or three times to get there.

But Nohi Bus launch the direct bus to Kiso Valley from Takayama from this year 2019!!!! (Apr-Nov Only)
Now one day trip from Takayama is possible!

One of our staff joined the direct bus and visited Kiso Valley.
