Kamikochi is one of the most popular mountainous resorts in Japan located in Nagano prefecture and is also known as the entrance to the Japan Alps. A great way to enjoy a day in Kamikochi is by hiking the trails along Azusa River from Taisho Pond to Myojin Bridge. It does not require advanced hiking skills or experiences, compared to the more challenging surrounding peaks. Kamikochi is particularly beautiful during the autumn foliage season, which usually peaks in mid-October. If you would like to climb a challenging mountain such as Nishihotakadake (2,909 m), Okuhotakadake (3,190 m), Maehotakadake (3,090 m), or the active volcano Yakedake (2,455 m), it is recommended you visit Kamikochi between mid-June and mid-September.
