Frequently asked questions
Is the Tokai Nature Trail — Tokyo à Osaka GPX available?
Yes. The track and its profile can be viewed here, and the file is available as a free download from this page.

No. This page makes sources easier to consult and separates published data from GPX calculations. Check the latest official instructions before the start.
These items are shown explicitly so an approximation is never presented as official data.
The 1,697.2 km represents the announced Tokai Nature Trail network; the GPX also includes links and variants. Trailboard therefore calculates neither a reference distance nor elevation from this file.
The official track does not necessarily show ongoing closures and detours.
