Nakasendo GPX files bundle

This bundle contains 19 GPX tracks covering the complete Nakasendo trail between Kyoto and Tokyo, as we walked it in early Spring 2025. Each track was manually handcrafted ahead of our trip and tested in the field during our spring trip. We’ve documented our diversions in post towns, rest stops, and local highlights on our blog.

Together, the 19 tracks cover approximately 540 km across seven prefectures — Kyoto, Shiga, Gifu, Nagano, Gunma, Saitama, and Tokyo — and pass through all 69 Nakasendo post stations. We've broken them down into 21 files, one for each day (except for day 19, where we created two tracks), and another covering the entire journey, in case you want to adjust the day split yourself.
