2025 Nakatsugawa Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#fallcolors Visiting Nakatsugawa in October is a wonderful experience, as the town and surrounding areas transform into a beautiful palette of autumn colors. Nestled in the Kiso Valley, Nakatsugawa is a charming town that serves as a gateway to the historic Nakasendo Road. In October, the crisp air and vibrant red, orange, and yellow leaves make it the perfect time for hiking, especially along the scenic trails between Tsumago-juku and Magome-juku. The fall foliage enhances the already stunning landscapes, and the weather is ideal for outdoor activities. ‼️We visited Nakatsugawa during the first week of October, and the leaves on the trees were just beginning to take on the beautiful colors of autumn. #traveljapan #japan #100waysoftravel

This is a restaurant where you can eat grilled salted trout and sashimi set meals while looking at the beautiful emerald green river nearby. You can walk from the parking lot to Iwana no Satosa by crossing a suspension bridge, but if you don't cross the suspension bridge and instead climb a little higher, there is a place where you can look down on the river and suspension bridge from above, which is a very beautiful and recommended photo spot 📷 　 ୨୧ ‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥୨୧ Location: Iwana no Satosa Address: 258-15 Tsukechi-cho, Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture Access: About 40 minutes by car from Nakatsugawa IC Parking: Available (free) ୨୧ ‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥‥∵‥୨୧ #Gifu #Gifu sightseeing #Gifu nature #Nature #Breathtaking views #Relaxing spots #Lush greenery #River #Photo spots 2024

#GifuTrip #AmazingView #Gourmet #SummerShortTrip #EnjoyNature #UnexploredLand #RiverFish #SuspensionBridge #DriveTrip #NakatsugawaCity Visiting Sasa, the Village of Iwana It takes more than two hours by car from Gifu city, but the color of the river is just as shown in the picture! No photo editing. You can't get to Sasa without crossing the suspension bridge. The suspension bridge can only accommodate three people, so you have to cross in order after the first person gets off. Sasa, the Village of Iwana There is a parking lot for about 20 cars. Reservations are not accepted. There is a long line on weekends and holidays. Opens from 11:00, but if you are ready early, you can be seated before opening. We ordered the Hontani Set Meal with Roast Beef for 3,000 yen including tax. The Sasa Set Meal without Roast Beef is 2,500 yen. After eating, we soaked our feet in the cold river water and enjoyed a forest bath. The sound of the clear water and the mountain breeze will calm your mind. Please come and experience the extraordinary beauty of nature and enjoy trout and wild vegetable dishes. It will refresh your mind.

I love this place very much!! It is very beautiful, having ancient vibes and more importantly not many tourists around. There is a wide viewing platform. The shops, even restaurants, are mostly closed by 5pm. As suggested by the hostel, I had dinner at one eatery and tried sukiyaki. It is a Japanese dish with beef, vegetables, tofu and noodles with sake in the sweet sauce. Worthy to try!

#wecreate This is at the Magome end of the Magome- Tsumago trail which is also known as the Nakasendo trail. This route runs along the Kiso Valley and connected Tokyo with Kyoto during the Edo Period. It was mostly used by merchants. It is about 8 kilometers long and takes approximately 2-3 hours to walk at a leisurely pace. However, I took around 4-5 hours to complete 🤭There are small shophouses at the magome end and nice soba~ There are some good views along the trail that you can enjoy ~

In the past, when there were no railways, people who wanted to travel across the vast land of Japan could only rely on horse-drawn carriages. Because the distances to travel were very long, post stations were created to provide a place for people traveling between the north and the south to rest. In ancient times, there were several main roads for people to travel. Among them, Nakasendo, which started at Nihonbashi in Tokyo and ended at Sanjo in Kyoto, was one of the main roads. There are 69 post stations along the route, and Magome-juku in Gifu Prefecture is the 43rd post station. It is a good choice for traveling together with nearby Tsumago-juku. With the rise of railways, most of the lodgings have fallen into disrepair, and a few have been transformed into tourist attractions.

Magome-juku is one of the famous tourist spots in central Japan. Magome-juku is located in Nakagawa City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and is the remains of an ancient Japanese post road inn. Magome-juku was the main artery connecting Tokyo and Kyoto during the Edo period, and it still retains a strong Edo atmosphere. This time we drove from Nagoya to Gero and Takayama, passing through Magome-juku, where we visited and had lunch. After having a set meal lunch for around 1,000 yen at a random restaurant in Magome-juku, we took a walk along the cobblestone streets and visited traditional craft shops. Then we set off to Xialu. #See the Earth in an instant

Before transportation was well developed, people could only travel between Tokyo and Kyoto by walking or crossing the sea. The "Nakasendo" was an important main road connecting Tokyo and Kyoto that was opened during the Edo period. The total length of the Nakasendo Road is about 540 kilometers, and it is impossible to complete the journey in one day, so many "inn" were set up along the way for travelers to rest. The best preserved and most popular ones are Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku. These two inns and the section of Nakasendo in between are what we will introduce today. 📍 Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku are located in Gifu Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture respectively 📏 The middle road between Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku is about 8.5 kilometers ⏱ It takes about 2 hours to complete this section of the trail (but leave enough time to take photos, stroll around the two post stations, and eat local specialties such as Gohei Mochi and Soba noodles) 🚈 You can take a bus from JR Nakatsugawa or Minamigiso Station to Magome-juku or Tsumago-juku Walking between the two post stations, the historical buildings there are very interesting, and there are many folk crafts for sale. It really feels like traveling back in time to the Edo period. Although this section of the "Nakasendo" is the most popular section, there are not many hikers, and you can feel the tranquility there. #Overseas Travel #Japan #Countryside Series #Nakasendo #Magomejuku #Tsumagojuku #Time Travel #Hiking #Edo #Food #japan

The other day, I visited Nakatsugawa City in Gifu Prefecture, and decided to make a detour to Magome-juku, which I had been curious about. Magome-juku is a post town on the Nakasendo road, and is a scenic spot where the old streetscape remains intact among the mountains. There are many foods made with chestnuts, a specialty of Nakatsugawa City, on sale, and the chestnut steamed rice is particularly recommended. The incredibly sweet chestnuts go perfectly with salty glutinous rice. How about taking a stroll while looking at the old streetscape covered in snow? #gourmettrip #breathtakingview #snowscenery #Magome-juku

Magome-juku, located in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture, is the 43rd post town on the Nakasendo road and the southernmost of the 11 Kiso post towns. It is a lovely tourist destination with a charming retro townscape. I recommend visiting it along with the nearby Tsumago-juku. It is paved with stone, has a great atmosphere, and is a popular place with foreigners. It had just rained on the day we visited, but the stone pavement is wet even on rainy days, creating a nice atmosphere. #retrotownscape

Magome-juku in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture It is the 43rd post town on the Nakasendo road, and the southernmost of the 11 Kiso post towns. It is a very popular tourist destination for both Japanese and foreigners, and its retro townscape remains. There are restaurants and souvenir shops, so you can enjoy lunch or tea. #retrotownscape

📍 Saya Nishiki / Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture A long-established Japanese sweets shop in Nakatsugawa Tea at the sweets shop inside "Suya" 🍵🍃 While being healed by a nice garden It is a shop where you can enjoy cool Japanese sweets 🧊 ✨ ✔︎ Chilled white ball The gentle sweetness of red bean paste and I felt happy with the chewy white balls ☺️✨ ✔︎ Ice confectionery A new sensation sweet that is different from shaved ice ◎ A fluffy texture like fresh snow ☁️❄️ (Snow, I've never eaten ... lol) The attached Nozawana was also delicious 🤤💚 The sweets shop (probably) didn't have air conditioning, I got a cold one, so it was just right

Access ◇Public transport From JR Nakatsugawa Station, take the Kita-Ena Kotsu Bus Magome Line for about 25 minutes and get off at Magome ◇Car About 20 minutes from Nakatsugawa IC on the Chuo Expressway. Turn right at the Okita intersection on National Route 19 towards Matsumoto and Kiso. Go straight on Prefectural Route 7 and turn left at the sign. During the Edo period, it flourished as a post town on the Nakasendo road, a highway connecting Kyoto and Edo. The old post town streetscape has been restored and preserved along the stone-paved slope. It is about 1 kilometer long and is uphill from the entrance, but you can climb the whole way in about 30 minutes, so it was just right for light exercise. There is a waterway at the end of the street, and two waterwheels along the way add to the atmosphere. There are many cafes, restaurants serving local cuisine, souvenir shops, and inns lined up, making it a nostalgic walk up the slope. In the center of the town, the birthplace of Toson Shimazaki, a master of modern Japanese literature, has been developed into the Toson Memorial Museum. The opening line of his novel "Before Dawn," "The Kiso Road is entirely in the mountains," is extremely famous. Even today, he is still the most famous person in Magome-juku, and can be seen on posters, flyers, and souvenir marginalia. #Magome-juku #Historic sites with a sense of history #Gifu Prefecture #Weekend ⛴⛴ #Couple trip #Breathtaking views #A trip to enjoy spring

Chestnuts, a seasonal feature of autumn Kaya, a sweet shop run by Suya, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture, offers seasonal sweets.
