The Kiso Valley is located well off the beaten path but at the same time WAS ironically on the beaten path. One of two major highways from Tokyo to Kyoto, the Nakasendo, once zigzagged through these mountains transporting countless traders for hundreds of years. Today, much of the old road is preserved and provides a great hiking adventure. Furthermore, the outpost towns of Magome and Tsumago have gone to great lengths to authentically recreate an environment allowing one to envision and experience life during medieval times. Cool, right?! If you’re into outdoorsy activities, this one is a must!
