Nakasendo Road: A Journey to the Essence

Coffeyville, Kansas – May 2025
Located in the far south east corner of Kansas (just across the Oklahoma state line), this tiny community of 10,000 is not on the itinerary of most travelers - in other words, visitors generally do not randomly pass through its city limits.
