Nakasendo Trail Training Hike

Sunday morning, Sharon and I hiked at Banister Park. We covered 4.8 miles in two hours. The average pace was 23:13 per mile.

We are starting to train for our hike in April. We are taking a guided 11-day, 10-night walking tour of the Nakasendo Trail with Walk Japan.

The Nakasendo Trail, also known as the Road Through the Central Mountains, is a historic trail in Japan that connected Edo (present-day Tokyo) with Kyoto during the Edo period. Many of the post towns along the trail, such as Magome and Tsumago, have been well-preserved, offering a glimpse into traditional Japanese architecture and lifestyle. Walking through the preserved post towns provides a unique cultural experience. The trail also offers stunning views of mountains, forests, and rivers.
