Part of the Nakasendo route from Edo/Tokyo to Kyoto in 1603-1867. We parked our car in one of the designated lots for 500 yen. The village was located across the street. Very well preserved villageā€¦ Full review by aladale

Q:
Hi I plan to walk from Magome to Tsumago this October with my husband and daughter's 23 & 10. Is it enough to do the walk and explore the town at either end or is the walk enhanced by staying overnight in Tsumago in a traditional inn? Just working out if we should make it a day or overnight trip in our 17 day journey...bext stop is Takayama for 1 night. Thanks in advance

While the town is quite small and won't take long to explore, we really enjoyed our stop in a ryokan there. It had rained all the way and getting dried off and resting overnight before walking the rest of the way to the railway station the following morning worked really well for us, but we are both in our sixties, so I expect you are younger and fitter. If we had been dry, the onward journey would have been bearable as the walk itself is not really strenuous apart from the first couple of kilometres which is all uphill. Enjoy your trip, Japan is wonderful.

We are planning to walk the following sections of the the Nakasendo Way - 5 days/4 nights in April. (i) Magome - Tsumago- (ii) Tsumago - Kiso Fukishimo (iii) Yabuhara - Narai (iv) Narai - Kiso Harasawa (v) Karuisawa - Yokokawa We are hoping not to use a tour operator. Please can you explain how we can transfer our luggage - I have found information regarding the transfer of luggage from Magome to Tsumago but not other information for other stages. Many thanks in advance.

Jane, I met a couple that had done this same route, but in reverse. They had placed their large baggage in a week long storage at a hotel they were staying at in Kyoto, and did the five day journey with smaller hiking backpacks. I know this doesn't answer your question exactly, but I thought it might be helpful to know that the other travelers I encountered doing this were carrying their belongings with them each day.

From Nagoya, there are buses from Meitetsu Bus Centre to Iida that stops at Magome highway bus stop on the way. It takes off on the hour every hour during the day and it takes about 1 hour 20 minutes to get to Magome. From the highway bus stop, just use google map to find your way to the Magome town (about 15 minutes walk). Alternatively, take JR from Nagoya to Nakatsugawa Station (48 mins). Then take a bus to Magome (15 buses each day, about 30 minutes one way). Search for the train schedule at HyperDia. For bus schedule, check out Go! Nagano. From Tsumago, take a bus to Nagiso station. (10 buses each day, find the schedule on Go! Nagano.) Then it's 75 mins by express train or 140 mins by local train to Matsumoto. Note that Nagiso station does not accept credit cards. You must have enough cash with you if you don't have a JR pass.
