About
A 100-km cultural walk from Civitavecchia to Quirinale. Seven stages, 319 metres of elevation gain, historical echoes of Hasekura Tsunenaga’s 17th-century journey.
This isn’t just a route; it’s a bridge between Japan and Italy. The salty breeze of Santa Marinella, the whispers of history in Borgo San Giorgio.
Each step reveals coastal views, lush countryside, and stories of martyrs. Ideal for beginners, you can traverse this path year-round.
A week of walking, a lifetime of connection, all in the heart of Italy.
