Kamikochi is one of the most popular mountain resorts in Japan. Kamikochi located in Nagano Prefecture is scenic highland basin above 1,500 meters above sea level surrounded by a series of high steep mountains called the Japan Alps. The area is designated as a Special National Monument.
The most popular scenic spot is a wooden suspension bridge called "Kappabashi Bridge" on Azusa River. We can look over the bridge at Hodaka mountain range. Azusa river is a highly clear river flowing down from Yariga-take.
The typical hiking course is between Taishoike and Kappabashi bridge. Taishoike Pond is created at the huge eruption of Yake-dake in 1915. I'm sure you can greatly enjoy forest bathing in small birds' chirping and seasonal wild flowers for about an hour. If you are lucky, you might come across Japanese monkey.
Furthermore you can make a round trip between Kappabashi bridge and Myojnike Pond for 2 hours. Myojinike Pond has clear water and near the pond you find Hodaka Shrine that local Shinto deity of Japan Alps is enshrined. When you cross Myojin bridge, you see Myojin-take. It is one of the photo spots in Kamikochi.
Even in summer it is about 23 degrees, so why don't you join cool hiking?
The period of opening of Kamikochi is from mid-April to mid-November.

Very informative and knowledgeable. Help us with savings on the transport and advised on places to see. Very friendly too.
We enjoyed having Osaka local food such as Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, and kushikatsu for lunch. We went to most scenic spots by subway in Osaka. 1-day pass card was very convenient. I wish you and all your family good health and happiness. Thank you.
Hideo was a charming host, and everything ran very well, according to the plan he laid out. I had been wanting to see the Naruto whirlpool for a long time, and the spectacle of nature did not disappoint. The Tile museum was very intriguing in its own way. You bet to see reproduced masterpieces all in one space so it became easy to track a painters artistic progress throughout their lives rather than having to go to different countries to see art piecemeal.
I'm .very happy to receive your excellent review. Naruto whirlpool is one of the three greatest whirlppools in the world. We had a great time to watch the whirlpool at high tide. In the Otsuka Museum of Art, or The Tile museum, we could see about 1,000 full-scale paintings in porcelain panel. In particular Vatican's Sistine Chapel was represented in the front main hall. It was spectacular, wasn't it! I wish you all the best in the future. Thank you.
We really enjoyed seeing Osaka Castle and Dotombori with Hideo. Had a great time!
We enjoyed watching fish such as puffer fish, grilled eel, big shrimps in Kuromon market. We could see early bloomers of cherries. I'm very glad to have a great time with your family. Please keep running for your health. I hope to see you again!
Hideo was thoughtful and interesting. We truly enjoyed our time with him.
We enjoyed walking through the flashy billboards on the Dotonbori street. We have dinner close to Abeno Harukas, the tallest building in Japan. Next time I'd like to visit Umeda Sky Building with you. Thank you!
