Hiking in spring 2008/1/24 14:33
Hi I will be in Japan for 1 week between Nagoya and Tokyo and will probably have a JRP. I'm interested to spend 2-3 days staying in nature where I can hike, but I am not an experience hiker. Not much information on the internet, therefore I am thinking of Fuji Five Lakes area. But I would prefer somewhere quiet and not too crowded.

Does anyone know if the mountains/area around Nagoya is good too? Or will it be too hard to hike and snowing? I don't mind the travel, as there is the JRP.

Thank you all!

Walking course between Magome and Tsumago. It's safe.

The Nakasendo between Magome and Tsumago is really recommended for a one day hike and the access from Nagoya is not too bad with a train to JR Nakatsugawa Station and then the bus to Magome:

There are many hike reports. Could be some tips ...

Thank you for your ideas!

What about Fuji Five Lakes? Are there safe and good walks there? I may have 2-3 days so perhaps Kiso may be too small?

Thank you,
