The travel site “Iiyama Tabitabi” offers a support plan for the Shinetsu Trail Section 5. This plan is designed for those who want to experience Japan’s first long trail but are unsure about preparation or access to starting and ending points. The trail spans 110 km along the border of Nagano and Niigata Prefectures, featuring lush forests and scenic rural landscapes. Section 5, between Sekida Pass and Fushino Pass, is especially popular.

The support plan includes transportation, accommodations, and some meals, making it easy to enjoy the journey. It’s perfect for beginners, families, or groups who want to immerse themselves in nature, enjoy BBQs, and stay in cottages.
