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.

Your knife becomes a personal, one-of-a-kind piece from Japan that you can use or keep for years. One of the highlights is the sharpness test. You might be surprised at sharpness of your knife. You can choose from several knife options, depending on availability and price, such as a Damascus kitchen knife, hunting knife, folding knife, or Chinese-style kitchen knife. Kitchen knife options may include Santoku, Gyuto, Nakiri, or Bunka. This is more than a souvenir.
