About Kamikochi area
Kamikochi is one of the most popular mountainous resorts in Japan. It is located in Nagano prefecture and known as the entrance to Japan Alps.
The recommended 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 climbing the surrounding peaks. Kamikochi is particularly beautiful during the autumn foliage season, which usually peaks in mid-October. If you would like to climb challenging mountain such as Nishihotakadake (2,909 m), Okuhotakadake (3,190 m), Maehotakadake (3,090 m) and the active volcano Yakedake (2,455 m), it is recommended between mid-June and mid-September.
