Hi all, need some assistance on an early itinerary for Nagoya this year. The flight dates has already been confirmed for 19th Oct to 3rd November and cannot be adjusted.

# Questions:
1) Currently a little stumped on how long it’ll take to trek part of the Nakasendo from Magome to Tsumago. Will one full day be sufficient from Magome to Nagiso?
2) Originally instead of Kiso Fukushima, wanted to go from Tsumago to Gero. However, the Nohi bus was discontinued during covid and there’s no updates until now on when the bus service will resume. Is there a way to do 1 day from Magome to Tsumago and then towards Gero Onsen and then Takayama?
3) We would like to sample some of the local regional food. Besides these, are there any must try regional food/restaurants?
* Sekai no Yamachan (Fried Chicken wings from Nagoya)
* Furaibo (same as above)
* Komeda coffee (Try the morning set, especially ogura toast)
* Konparu (heard they have ebifry sandwich that is quite famous and morning set)
* Daijin Honten ([https://tabelog.com/en/aichi/A2301/A230102/23000102/](https://tabelog.com/en/aichi/A2301/A230102/23000102/)) Wanted to visit the oldest (?) Izakaya in Nagoya.
4) Are there any interesting places that we may have missed out?
Thank you!
