I am staying in Nagoya and plan to do the magome-tsumago portion of the Nakasendo trail. I am considering doing it as a day trip or staying overnight at a ryokan at either one of those post-towns.
Which direction would you suggest I go to have enough time to explore, possibly stay at a ryokan, and not worry about catching a train/bus in time to go back to Nagoya. I hear the route from magome to tsumago is easier (more downhill) but shouldn’t be an issue if I decide to go the other way.
Thank you for any help!
