The highlight is crossing the Magome Pass, past rushing waterfalls and through haunting swathes of forest. It should only take two to three hours to complete the entire Magome to Tsumago Trail. Escape the bustle of Tokyo and head out on the main Tokaido Shinkansen line to Nagoya, from here take the bus to Nakatsugawa and change for the last half hour of your journey to Magome.
If not walking, you can travel between Magome and Tsumago by infrequent direct buses (see timetable). The more time-consuming alternative leads by train and buses via Nakatsugawa and Nagiso Stations.
