The highlight of our trip to Japan was this hike on part of the Old Tokaido Road with our guide, Akihiro-san. He is a certified national guide and fluent in English. His knowledge and experience gave us a remarkable sense of what life was like hundreds of years ago. It was not information overload or touristy in any way, but rather, we were able to hike at our own pace and absorb our surroundings. The weather was rainy and chilly and actually added a magical atmosphere to the hike, especially at the 400 year old tea house rest stop where a fire on the hearth and the 13th generation owner welcomed us. We highly recommend this experience!
