Nakatsugawa is a wonderful destination year-round, but the best time to visit truly depends on what sort of experience you're after.Many travellers find that the spring, from late March to early May, offers a delightful experience. The weather is generally mild and pleasant, great for exploring the historic Nakasendo trail sections like Magome-juku or Tsumago-juku. You'll also see the beautiful cherry blossoms in bloom, particularly lovely along the Kiso River. This period is excellent for couples who enjoy scenic walks and photography.Autumn, from late September to mid-November, is another highly recommended time. The cooler temperatures make for comfortable hiking, and the landscape transforms with stunning autumn colours, especially in the surrounding mountains and valleys. Foodies will appreciate the seasonal delicacies available, such as local chestnuts.
