Magome to Tsumago Hiking Tour from Nagoya
Description
From Nagoya take the train and then the bus to Magome, one of the post towns along the Nakasendo, the old merchant route connecting Tokyo and Kyoto during the Edo Period. From there hike the 7.8-kilometer-long trail to the next post town Tsumago, an even older and more beautiful mountain village. The hike leads along old paths through forests and stunning nature all year round. At Tsumago you will try the local Hoba Miso for lunch as well as some delicious soft-serve ice cream for dessert. Finish your tour with a visit to the town's museum or an optional wood workshop (additional cost).

This is the tour my husband and I were looking forward to most on our honeymoon. It definitely lived up to our expectations! For this trip we focusing on nature/history/culture, so this hike was right up our alley. We went on the second day of our trip, and our guide Patricia quickly felt like a friend, and was open to any questions we had not only about the historic towns and landmarks on the trail, but also generally about life in Japan. The food was delicious, and very much welcome after the hike. We did not do the wood carving add-on, but only because we didn’t want to carry the wooden dishes so early on our trip (we packed light). However if we had planned on the hike near the end of our trip, I would have definitely wanted to do the wood carving add-on. Would recommend this tour if you are into nature/history/culture. We also plan to do more tours with NagoyaIsNotBoring if we are nearby in the future.
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! ❤️ We’re so happy the Magome to Tsumago hike became such a special part of your honeymoon. It means a lot to hear that our guide Patricia made the day feel like hiking with a friend while sharing the nature, history, and culture of the Nakasendo Trail 😊 Thanks again for joining us, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back for another Nagoya is not boring experience someday!
What an awesome tour. Despite the light rain all day, Desiree, our guide made the hike memorable. She was well organised and all the transport went smoothly. Desiree was knowledgeable on the region history, and ensured we had plenty of time for photos and to explore the Historic Magome and Tsumago. The lunch was delicious. All in all a fabulous day and so invigorating being in the forest. Highly recommend this tour - the company name says it all Nagoya is not Boring.

We feel pampered and taken care of at all times. We were a group of 14 Spaniards. Very professional, empathetic and nice, both she and Patricia. They deserve a rating of 10/10.
