Mt.Wada

Mt. Wada is a 1,600-meter-high mountain that was once the most challenging point for travelers on Nakasendo. However, it has now become a very comfortable hiking trail. Along the way, you can enjoy the chirping of birds, the soothing sound of streams, stunning natural scenery, and a panoramic view from the summit.

You can admire the beautiful wildflowers, but be cautious-- some of them are poisonous!
