“Very nice and flexible guide”
We planned months in advance a day with Tetsuji. When we arrived in Japan we realised it would be raining all day. We asked Tetsuji if he could propose an alternative because we were supposed to be outside all day. He came with a good back up plan. It was really appreciated. We have a nice day together and I would recammand it.
Tetsuji Y.
Thank you for your appreciation. I hope that you would come back to Japan again in order to hike Nakasendo with me under the blue sky. I will be waiting all of you. Please give my best regards to Martin, Pauline and Adrian.

“Amazing a must do”
This post town trek was excellent. Our guide Yoko gave us some history of the Nakasendo before we started and we began our trek at a leisurely pace through the beautiful post towns and forests. It was so relaxing parts are hilly and a little challenging but not difficult.
Yoko T.
Thank you for your kind words. I too had a great time hiking the Magome-Tsumago Nakasendo trail with you that day. Lots of enjoyable conversations and good local food. I hope to see you again sometime in the future. Best regards, Yoko
