Beautiful Day in Nagatoro, Japan

Day trip to Nagatoro

Lucky, we had the chance to visit the stone tatami mats along the river running through Nagatoro. Our first stop though was a walk from the station up to the Kodosan mountain jinja where we spent a leisurely hour or three enjoying the shrine in it’s eternal beauty and also hiking around the hills and mountains above Nagatoro.

Trains from Tokyo on the Seibu-Chichibu line can take you to the sleepy mountain village in less than two hours.
