7 Beautiful hikes between TOKYO and KYOTO | My favorite trails in central Japan

Wauw! Last october we went to Japan and we were very lucky to have found some amazing hikes! :D
I share seven of our favorites in this video :)
WHERE TO SLEEP
► Yui-An in (Nagiso, Nakasendo Trail) one of the best places I stayed in all of my travels! LOVE IT!
► Sheena to Ippei (Tokyo) also a great hidden gem!
► Panketo Lodge (Hakuba, northern Alps) great!! We had a new family room in the back which was amazing! (go for the renovated rooms if you can, the older ones are nothing spectacular)
► Minshuku Shimada (Narai, Nakasendo Trail) a Ryokan, very lovely and again amazing people, highly recommended!
► Noad (wakayama, kumano kodo) only recommended if you have a car cause it's very out of the way, but lovely and quiet and (in a good way) kind of funky. Loved it! NOTE: you'll rent a whole house and will not have a host around.

NOTE: the mentioned hike with the waterfall is in the south of the Kii Peninsula - is the hike to the Kuwanoki Falls. It's a clear path which is slightly challenging when it rained (and you might get dirty hands from grabbing rocks). It's not a long hike tho :)
