Hi! In October my partner and I will be traveling to Japan for the first time for a nine day stay (I know it’s not long). During this time I’ve arranged for us to do a portion of the Nakasendo from Tsumago to Magome and booked a stay in Magome. I’m considering booking an additional night on the trail but I’m having trouble finding resources about the trail past that Tsumago/Magome portion. Any guidance on that would be GREATLY appreciated.
Additionally, my partner and I are nature people first and foremost. We’ll be flying into Tokyo and definitely spending a day or two there but the crowds look a bit overwhelming and it looks to be very shopping-centric which we are not too interested in. Any recommendations for lowkey, quiet places to visit would be awesome, but I don’t want to step on locals’ toes. We’re in shape and comfortable being uncomfortable. I’m overwhelmed planning this itinerary and would love some insight.
Thanks in advance!
