Nakasendo Trail - Magome to Nagiso – Gifu/Nagano, Japan
Hike the scenic Nakasendo Trail from Magome to Nagiso, passing charming post towns, bamboo groves, and panoramic castle views.
Gifu Castle - Gifu, Japan
I hiked the 2.3 km Meisou no Komichi Trail up Mount Kinka to Gifu Castle. The climb was scenic with a few tricky spots, but the castle, shrine, museum, and observatory at the top made it worth every step. I descended via an easier trail and enjoyed a quiet stroll around the park before heading back.
