Nakasendo trail hike
They hiked 100km over 3 days along Japan's historic Nakasendo trail, experiencing remote mountain villages, challenging terrain, and local culture. The journey involved navigating steep passes, encountering friendly locals, and dealing with unexpected challenges like forgotten bear bells and late-night arrivals.
- 🐻 Bear bells and bear spray were essential (and sometimes hilariously absent) safety gear for the mountain paths.
- 🍜 Oyaki dumplings were a recurring, delicious local dish, though not universally loved by the travelers.
- 🏕️ Accommodation ranged from rustic camping to charming traditional inns, with one night spent in a tent.
- 🚶 The trail included challenging sections like the Tory Pass, known for its steep climb and historical significance.
- 📸 The video highlights the use of Insta360 cameras for capturing the journey, emphasizing their image quality and stabilization.
