Durante siglos, samuráis, monjes y nobles viajaron entre Kioto y Tokio a lo largo del Nakasendo —la “carretera a través de las montañas” de 330 millas. Una vez llena de tráfico peatonal y drama feudal, esta antigua ruta es ahora una cinta silenciosa que serpentea por colinas boscosas y aldeas rurales, lejos de los caminos turísticos más transitados de Japón. Hoy en día, la recorre un nuevo tipo de viajero: aquellos que buscan algo más lento, silencioso e inmersivo.

Today, a new kind of traveller walks it — those seeking something slower, quieter, and more immersive.
