Tsumago, now a community within Nagiso town, lies within the southern Kiso district, which is located in the southern part of Nagano prefecture, surrounded by green mountains and intersected by the Kiso River.
The people of Nagiso town are firm in their determination to pass on to those who will succeed them an improved living environment as they strive towards the development and maintenance of a community with strong links to its past and a bright future ahead.
In this book the attempt has been made, by those whose roots are in Tsumago, to read the history of their ancestors' interaction with the environment in the contemporary landscape and to record it through brush and pen.

 Tsumago
In Matsumoto I caught a local to Shiojiro, where I had to buy a ticket on to Nagiso since my railpass was no longer valid; I'd crossed the line and was outside JR East territory.
Now I was truly in the boondocks, the destination: one of these three little post towns along the Nakesendo Road which are preserved like things were a hundred years ago.
By the time I arrived in Nagiso it was night; there I caught a bus for the final few kilometers into Tsumago.

The closest train station to Tsumago is at Nagiso, from where the village is an hour's walk south or a ten-minute bus ride.
There's a tourist information booth beside Nagiso Station (tel 0264/57-2302), where you can pick up a map of the area, and another booth in the centre of Tsumago (daily except Wed 9am-5pm; tel 0264/57-3123), where you can get help with accommodation and arrange to have your bag forwarded if you're planning to hike to Magome.
Twenty-five minutes by bus from Kiso-Fukushima Station on the Chuo line between Narai and Nagiso, the hostel is in a large traditional building in the peaceful mountain village of Ohara.

There are local trains between Nagiso and Nakatsugawa, but the LEX is the better way to go.
If you check hyperdia for Kyoto to Nagiso departing at 6:15 you will see that a Nozomi (you are buying point-to-point tix, I read on your other thread) that connects to a LEX that arrives Nagiso at 8:03.
You wouldn't be using the lockers in Nagiso because that would require a bit of backtracking.

Situated in the hilly countryside, the most alluring aspect of this resort was its spa.
Splashing beneath the waterfall under the warm sun was most sensuous and the entire effect of the water and sun, harmonious surroundings and quiet left me totally mellow.
A ride through the Nagiso countryside took me past paddy fields and well-kept Japanese country homes.

If you walk in from Nagiso station, you can enjoy an overview of Tsumago from the cleared site of the old Tsumago Castle, which was torn down by order of the Tokugawa government in 1615.

In a town called Nagiso in Nagano prefecture, we walked into a bar to ask if there was a hotel nearby.
The bartender called several places, which were all full (it was the height of the tourist season), and then started looking at a train schedule to see if we could still get to the next town.
Also, all the rooms in Kamikochi were either booked or more than $200, so the best she could do was tell us we could try our luck at a campground that had a few bungaloes and didn't take reservations.

I mentioned a bus and that the train was indeed leaving in about 5 minutes to Nagiso.
From Nagiso I called the Minshuku that I had booked earlier, Daikitchi (大吉) however at that point they had no more rooms.

To reach Tsumago, take the JR Shinano train to Nagiso Station and then take a 10-minute bus ride (¥270/$2.25).

 Magome - Hiking The Kisoji - Hotel Near   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
If you choose to walk in the easier direction downhill to Magome, start at Nagiso Station on the Chuo line, from where Tsumago is an hour's walk south through picturesque fields and small villages.
If you're staying at the youth hostel near Kiso-Fukushima and you want to walk the official route, it's still a good idea to alight at Nagiso and catch the bus to Magome, since this is cheaper than continuing on to Nakatsugawa and taking a bus from there.
You'll need a whole day to explore both post towns and to complete the hike, and you'll enjoy the experience all the more if you stay in either Tsumago or Magome overnight

It sort of seems that catching a bus might be simpler, rather than catching connecting trains.
Also, a minor question, I then go on to Matsumoto (Shinano tokkyu from Nagiso Station) where I'm only staying one night, before heading straight back to Nagoya and the airport.
Is the best way to do that by Shinano tokkyu to Nagoya station then a bus to the airport?
