Ena to Magome

Back to Japan & the Nakasendo...

Day 3 we walked from Ena to Magome, a total of 17 km. We left the Hotel Route Inn at 8:45 am after breakfast. The morning's walk took us through city streets to Nakatsugawa. There was no shade and we could have taken the train from Ena to Nakatsugawa and not missed a thing.

In Nakatsugawa, we had lunch at Chicken House.

Chicken Katsu with salad & miso soup--Y 680. My husband loved it. It was a large enough serving that he felt satisfied.

I ordered a dish I had never had before. It was ground chicken with scrambled egg & seaweed over rice for Y680. It also included a salad and miso soup. 

We also got a scoop of ice cream--tasted just like Haagen Dazs vanilla.

In the afternoon, the walk passed the next post town Ochiai. After that it was an uphill climb through the woods, past Magome Pass. We arrived in Magome at 3:30 pm and checked into Magome Chaya Minshuku.
