    Our hiking tours of the Nakasendo, an ancient mountain road which once connected Japan’s two capitals, Tokyo in the East, and Kyoto in the west. Most of the Nakasendo and its stunning Edo period architecture has since been lost to wars, fires, and modernisation. But here in the mountainous, rugged Kiso Valley, the Nakasendo is, in places, almost exactly as it was hundreds of years ago.

    We are one of an extremely tiny handful of local guides. By using our services you are ensuring that the money that you pay goes to, and stays in, the local economy of the Japanese countryside, something too many operators cannot claim.
