The route connects six cities and towns near Tokyo. Hikers walk through traditional Japanese countryside areas called satoyama. In these places, local communities live next to mountains, fields, and ponds.
People can visit the trail all year because heavy snow does not block the path. Some parts of the trail have steep hills and rocky ground, and there are few places to buy food along the route.
