Tsumago Trips & Tours
Tsumago
Ensconced by the scenic Kiso Valley, Tsumago is one of the best-preserved post towns on the ancient Nakasendo Trail, a major route connecting Tokyo and Kyoto during the Edo Period. With its beautifully restored wooden inns and residences, Tsumago is a tangible link to Japan's rich history. Take a leisurely stroll through the village, visiting traditional homes that now serve as museums, or treat yourself to some local delicacies in one of the quaint teahouses. A sea of green, the surrounding forests and mountains also promise excellent hiking opportunities. Tsumago is the type of place to just slow down and soak in the atmosphere.
Wander along the Nakasendo trail, an old samurai route, and explore the charming streets lined with Edo-period buildings. Visit the Tsumago-juku Honjin, a restored inn once used by feudal lords, and enjoy local cuisine at traditional Japanese inns known as ryokan. Tsumago's tranquil atmosphere is perfect for those seeking a step back into Japan's historic and scenic rural life.
Walking through Tsumago's picturesque streets, you’ll get a real sense of what life was like in Edo-era Japan. Don't be surprised if you spot locals dressed in their traditional attire!
Take a hike along the trail connecting Tsumago to the neighbouring post town of Magome. Meandering amidst beautiful forests and bamboo groves, sparkling streams and verdant tea plantations; it's a slice of rural Japan that many travellers miss.
Many accommodation options in Tsumago are traditional Japanese inns, or ryokan, which offer a wonderful cultural experience but may not have all the comforts of Western-style hotels.
