I have already walked about 50 km of total 533 km – from Edo’s Nihonbashi to Kyoto’s Sanjo Ohashi -- of Nakasendo. Today, I walked from Konosu, the 7th shukuba station to Kumagaya, the 8th. It was more than 16 km.
I walked through residential areas in Konosu. The sky was blue. The leaves of the trees were changing from green to yellow or red. It is autumn.
There appeared agricultural fields along the road.
Railway (Takasaki Line) runs along Nakasendo. Arakawa river runs along Nakasendo in the west.
Nakasendo met the bank of Arakawa River in Konosu-Kumagaya border area. Nakasendo goes along the river bank in some parts and merges with the bank in other parts.
I walked several kilometers on the bank. I saw autumn glasses spread in the left side and towns in the right. Joggers and cyalists were enjoying the nature.
The bank was many times washed out by floods and people had repeatedly affected by the disasters. Monuments of disasters remain in the area. The bank was reinforced many times and new construction is still underway.
