On sunny day of May, I walked Nakasendo trail from Yabuhara-jyuku to Narai-jyuku. I just wanted to walk along Torii Pass, which is popular with foreigners.
The Nakasendo trail is the old mountain route that connects Tokyo and Kyoto during the Edo Period (1603-1867).
The Torii Pass that I walked this time was one of the most challenging places for travelers now and then. Moreover, in the past people used to cross this mountain pass in straw sandals instead of sneakers.
In fact, it was difficult for my body, usually lacks exercise to cross the mountain pass. However, all the foreigners passing us were smiling and walking lightly and the clothes are light.
After 2hours walking, tourists were happily eating soba and buying souvenirs.
At Narai-jyuku and Yabuhara-jyuku ,you can rent Hinoki-hat（Cypress hat).If you walk around wearing a Hinoki hat, you might understand the feelings of people in the past.
From starting point to your destination, our vehicle with cargo can run side by side. According to your condition and weather, you can enjoy cycling.
