Tokai Nature Trail Resources

English Resources

Traildino is a trail hiking database that offers some basic information about trail. It has a few of the GPS maps listed but it is very scant in this area.​

My Trip Along the Tokai Nature Trail" is a blog from a man who hiked the trail in 1976. It is a great read and gives you a wonderful perspective about what hiking the trail was like. My Trip Along the Tokai Nature Trail

 "A Rough Guide to Walking the Tokai Shizen Hodo" is the guide that I used before setting out. It does have the GPS coordinates for most of the trail. I did not use them, but I thought I was going to before my trip. It is a guide you should absolutely read before setting out. 

I created this site originally to chronicle my hike on the trail. From there it expanded to be a comprehensive guide of the complete trail.

This a government website that breaks the trail section by section. You can navigate it by clicking the pictures of the section you want to see. It is one of the more comprehensive sites I have found. There are no topographical or GPS maps on this site. This site also has other hiking trails in Japan

This the offical website of the trail. It breaks the trail section by prefecture. Once you go to the prefecture you can find information on the particular spots. It is a decent site, but there are no topographical maps or GPS maps on this site. 

This a blog from a man named Hidetaka Ogura who hiked the Tokai Nature Trail. The blog provides information on distance hiked each day, where Ogura camped and detailed information of the area.
