The Shin-etsu Trail is a hiking trail that extends over 110 km through the Shin-etsu area of Japan. "Shin-Etsu" is an abbreviation of Shinshu-Echigo, the traditional names for Nagano and Niigata Prefectures.
This area showcases Satoyama (里山) culture, the traditional Japanese mountain village way of life. For centuries, Satoyama communities have lived in close harmony with nature, sustainably benefiting from its resources while caring for the surrounding landscape. Today, Satoyama is recognized as a model for preserving biodiversity and promoting the coexistence of people and nature.
