Kamikochi travel guides

18 articles

Kamikochi is the crown jewel of the Northern Japan Alps — a car-free alpine valley at 1,500 meters where the Azusa River runs glacier-clear beneath the Hotaka peaks, open from mid-April to mid-November. Day walkers stroll Kappa Bridge and Taisho Pond; climbers push on to Yari and Hotaka. These guides cover bus access, walking routes, and seasonal conditions.
