From Nagoya Magome and Tsumago Private Guided Tour with Vehicle

Step back in time and discover the charm of Japan's historic post towns on this private guided day tour from Nagoya. Travel comfortably by private vehicle to the beautifully preserved towns of Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku, two former post stations along the historic Nakasendo Trail, which once connected Kyoto and Edo (present-day Tokyo) during the samurai era. Begin your journey in Magome-juku, a picturesque hillside town known for its stone-paved streets, traditional wooden buildings, and scenic mountain views. Continue to Tsumago-juku, one of Japan's best-preserved post towns. Carefully restored to reflect its Edo-period appearance, it offers a rare glimpse into Japan's past. Throughout the tour, your knowledgeable guide will share insights into the history and culture of the Nakasendo route, helping you gain a deeper appreciation of rural Japan's rich heritage.

Nakasendo Magome & Tsumago in 1 Day with Licensed Guide

This value-packed trip with a government-licensed and experienced multilingual tour guide is a fantastic and efficient way toexplore both of the ancient post towns! You can travel between Magome and Tsumago by infrequent direct bus. Nakasendo was one of the two highways during the Edo period connecting Tokyo with Kyoto, running through the Kiso Valley. Travelers at that time walked along the highway, stopping at "post towns" for rest. Some of those post towns have been well preserved and show tourists today exactly what Japan was like hundreds of years ago. Stunning forests, beautiful villages and traditions, we would love to recommend it to everyone interested in Japanese nature and history. This private tour is a walking day tour. A private vehicle is not included. Public transportation or local taxis may be used. Exact transportation costs can be discussed with the guide after a reservation is finalized. Please have Japanese Yen on hand for your transportation costs.
