Togakushi Hiking Tour
Ancient cedar avenues, mountain shrines and highland trails — one of the most spiritual walks in Nagano.
Ancient cedars and mountain shrines
Togakushi is a place of myth — a highland of towering cedar avenues, five historic shrines and trails that wind through some of the oldest forest in the region. The approach to the Okusha shrine, lined with 400-year-old cedars, is unforgettable.
Your guide brings alive the legends and nature of Togakushi on a walk that balances beauty, history and gentle exercise.

A gentle full day — the cedar avenue itself is flat and easy.
No, it’s not included — but fully recommendable to enjoy a local soba restaurant.
