You step off the train into a humid Tokyo morning and the city hums around you; by day three you’ll be trading neon for the hush of cedar forests and the steady heartbeat of mountain trails. This private 10‑day itinerary stitches modern Tokyo, Kawaguchiko’s open lake views of Mt. Fuji, the steaming hot springs of Nagano and the Akasaka snow monkeys with a two‑day highlight on the historic Nakasendo Way.
moderate.
10 days.
Good general fitness—able to hike 5–6 hours with elevation change and handle city walking between sites.
No—most sections are suitable for fit walkers; the longest day (Nojiri→Tsumago) is 18 km with significant ascent/descent, so prior day‑hiking experience helps.
Breakfast is included on most days; lunches and dinners are generally on your own except where noted—ryokan meals may be available at additional cost.
The Nakasendo segments are self‑guided after your train drop‑off; route details, distances and elevation are provided but you should be comfortable following signage and basic maps.
You must confirm visa requirements yourself prior to travel; the operator notes visa responsibility lies with travelers and all sales are final.
The Nakasendo Way was an Edo‑period inland arterial road linking Kyoto and Edo; many post towns like Tsumago retain Edo‑era architecture and street layouts.
Stick to marked trails, carry out waste, and never feed wildlife—these areas rely on community stewardship and visitor restraint to protect fragile habitats.
