I am going to be staying in Nagoya and am looking at doing a day trip to the kiso valley on the 18th December. Is it possible to do it in a day from Nagoya we want to go to Tsumago then walk to magome. Is it ok to do this walk in winter or is it too cold? My main question is about the buses. I have worked out the train timetable from Nagoya to Nagiso but not the bus from Nagiso to Tsumago then from Magome back to Nagiso. Does anyone know how often the buses run this time of year? Any advise on how to get there, timetables and any info would be great. I really want to go but don't want to waste the day trying to figure out how to get there.
Thanks

Is it possible to do it in a day from Nagoya we want to go to Tsumago then walk to magome.Yes, that is possible in one day. Is it ok to do this walk in winter or is it too cold?Coldness should not be a problem. Just put on more clothes! As for snow, I am not sure how big is the possibility of snow. Snow could potentially make the walk more challenging. bus from Nagiso to Tsumago then from Magome back to Nagiso.You should not return from Magome to Nagiso. Instead, you should take the bus from Magome to Nakatsugawa Station, from where you can take the train back to Nagoya. Alternatively, you can take a direct bus from Magome to Nagoya. Regarding the timetable, the information published in the following thread is still valid for December 18, 2005: http://www.japan-guide.com/forum/quereadisplay.html?0+10165As for the direct buses between Magome and Nagoya, note that they stop along the Chuo Expressway. You will have to walk about 15-20 minutes between the expressway interchange and Magome. Buses depart every 30-60 minutes.

I forgot to write the return from Magome to Nagiso: Magome to Tsumago to Nagiso: 10:55 dept 11:21 arr Tsum 11: 30 Nagiso stat 13:00 13:26 13:35 15:25 15:51 16:00 Tsumago and Magome are quite small. Around 16:30 all shops close and the places remain empty. So be sure to get the bus or have a place where to stay overnight. There are no signs in english. Both villages are extremely nice.

There is no direct bus from Nakatsugawa to Tsumago. Only to Magome. In order to get from Nakatsugawa to Tsumago by bus, you would have to take a bus to Magome and then another bus to Tsumago. It would be faster to take a JR train to Nagiso and a bus to Tsumago from there.
Nakatsugawa-Magome: 540 yen Not sure about the Nagiso-Tsumago and Magoma-Tsumago fares. I estimate them to be around 250 and 500 Yen respectively.
Note that bus service is not frequent on some of the routes: Nakatsugawa-Magome: about 12 round trips per day Magome-Tsumago: 0-5 round trips per day Tsumago-Nagiso: 3-5 round trips per day
A taxi ride between Tsumago and Nagiso is about 1000 Yen.

Walking Trail from Magome to Tsumago

Hi, I'm planning a trip to Tsumago for the festival of Bunka-Bunsei times in Edo period on November 23. I'm leaving from Nagoya to Nakatsugawa then on to Magome and take the walking trail to Tsumago for the festival. I'm traveling alone. Is this safe, to walk the trail alone? And does anyone know what time the festival starts? Thanks in advance!
