For our Japan trip, I delegated Junda for the itinerary planning, where he was fully in charge on scheduling and planning the route. As for selecting the places to go or things to do, I chipped in the idea and let him do the rest. I told him that I want to do a bit of trekking, which he agreed, since the last time we went trekking together was 2 years prior in Peak District, UK. He proposed some name of places in Japan for our trekking activities. However, as I was too lazy to do my own research, I just told him that it's entirely up to him to choose. Therefore, his choice was Nakasendo. I had no idea of what I would find there. I thought that the trekking path would be on some mountain, or forest. I was not wrong, but it was not all there is to Nakasendo.
