	Kiso Valley, the "Other" Japan
		On a warm spring day, with the Kiso River rushing headlong down the valley, and the snowy peak of Mt. Ontake fading behind the morning haze, 80-year-old Yoshido Kuroda tends to his small garden plot of root vegetables and assorted fruit trees.
		Here, near a town called Kiso-Fukoshima, in the fairly remote Kiso Valley, is where one goes to see the "other" Japan, where small traditional villages eke out an existence based on family agricultural gardens, wood gathering in the dense forests, and hosting tourists, mostly Japanese, in dozens of quaint ryokan (Japanese inns).
		During Japan’s Edo period, which began in 1600 and lasted until the mid-1800's, the Kiso Valley was traversed by the Nakasen-do Highway, an old post road which connected Edo (present-day Tokyo) with Kyoto.

		There are some nice onsen up near Nagano and in Ishikawa-ken. Have you considered the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route (find info on this at www.jnto.go.jp and elsewhere).
		Routing from Nagano to Kyoto is via Matsumoto, Kisoji, and Nagoya, so you would be backtracking.
		Unfortunately, I can't make changes to the itinerary in Nagano, Tsumago, and Magome, b/c the baggage forwarding service (for the hike from magome to tsumago) is only on the weekends during this time of the year.

		Okuwa-village is composed of 3 districts (Suhara, Nagano and Nojiri).
		but there aren't anything in Nagano because it is a road which connected Suhara with Nojiri.but it manages to exist as a center of Okuwa-village because there is Okuwa station there.
		By the way,I don't know the reason why this district is called Nagano which is a same name as my prefecture.

		Walking through the Kiso Valley provided a complete contrast both to the crowds and modernity of Tokyo, and the mass movement of climbers up and down Mount Fuji.
		It's a place of tranquility and history, in a little-known part of central Honshu which was once very much on the beaten track.
