Walk the Samurai Road (Nakasendo Trail) from Magome to Tsumago
Magome and Tsumago-juku still remain nestled in the mountains today. Having escaped modern development, their streetscapes preserve the strong atmosphere of the Edo period. On this tour, you will walk from Magome to Tsumago along mountain trails lined with hinoki cypress trees that have remained largely unchanged for hundreds of years. The sacred fragrance of hinoki, the gentle sound of flowing streams, and the songs of wild birds will softly welcome you along the way.

“A good day in Takayama and Hida-furukawa ”
we had an enjoyable and interesting day with Tetsuji Y. as our guide in Takayama and Hida-furukawa. Tetsuji-san put together the itinerary according to our preferences and wishes and was flexible enough and abele to adjust during the day to accommodate our wishes. His english language skills are good and allowed easy conversation and so we had a good time together.
Tetsuji Y.
I am really glad that you are satisfied with my tour. Thank you so much for high evaluation. I had also a happy time with you and Andrea. Especially through conversation with you about a variety of matters, I feel stronger affinity with Germany than before. I hope you will be back Japan and spend time with me again someday. Please give my best regards to your wife.

“A Beautiful Rainy Day Experience with Mr. Tetsuji Y”
Yesterday, we were very fortunate to have Mr Tetsuji guide us for the day on his Bushido tour. He's enthusiasm and knowledge of the history of the National treasures and traditions of his country were infectious and wonderful to experience. I thought Inuyama castle complex and the Seki sword museum, would be the highlight of my visit, and both were awesome not to be missed visits... But what was truly breath taking was the exhibit at the Washi Akari Art Museum in Mino. A little off the regular tourist path but it's a not to be missed experience. I highly recommend having Mr Tetsuji as your guide and let him show you those hidden gems of the area. Thank you Mr Tetsuji for hosting us and allowing us to experience the joy and pride you have for your country's beautiful culture and rich history. Best Regards Judy and Craig F.
Tetsuji Y.
I am very glad to know that you are well satisfied with my tour describing a high evaluation. Thank you so much. Actually, I was concerned about whether the weather might make your spirits low. However, you seemed to have been happy enjoying my tour all the way. I love the title 'A beautiful Rainy Days Experience'. I feel happy to have guided such a nice couple and hope to have a trip with you again someday.
