Kiso Valley

After saying farewell to Rowena, we picked up a rental car to drive further into the mountains.
For our anniversary, we splurged on a nice ryokan with a beautiful onsen (thanks Carol, for the recommendation). Apart from soaking and enjoying some indulgent meals, we walked part of the Nakasendo Trail between Tsumago and Magome. This part of the trail is one of the best restored sections of the centuries-old path that connected Tokyo to Kyoto via post stations. It was a charming walk that was busy with day-hikers, though it never felt over-run.Weiterlesen
