Exploring Kiso Valley by local train 🚃 Nakasendo | Narai-juku & Tsumago-juku | Japan travel vlog

🌿A slow summer journey through Nagano's Kiso Valley.
We stay overnight in Narai-juku and enjoy the quiet old town at night. Then we take the local train through the Kiso Valley to Tsumago-juku, and get a glimpse of the emerald-blue waters of Atera Valley.
Hope you enjoy the trip with us. ☕️
