KISO Nakasendo Trail, from Tsumago to the Waterfalls 妻籠から真夏の清涼　女滝・男滝へ

2010/08/01 - 2010/08/31

The trail between Magome and Tsumago is a well maintained section of the former Nakasendo, the route that ran along the Kiso Valley and connected Tokyo with Kyoto during the Edo Period. It is about 8 km long and should take two to three hours to complete at a leisurely pace, so you can see many tourists walking along.

We parked our car at a Tsumago parking lot and left for the waterfalls on the way to Magome. The trail leads through the countryside and passes right alongside the old houses and fields of local residents. It took us about 40 minutes and here they were, Otaki and Metaki, next to each other. We were able to come close to the basin and enjoy the roar and spray. We took a nice cool break bathing our feet in clear water too!

A cat (not bear) on the trail. Is s/he guiding us or blocking us..?
