Kamikōchi 上高地
Remote mountain resort & hiking
Open from April 17 to November 15, the popular mountain resort of Kamikōchi is a must-visit for anyone into nature, hiking and the outdoors.
At the heart of the North Alps and Chubu Sangaku National Park, Kamikōchi sits in a valley at the end of a dead-end road that is closed by heavy snow in winter.
Once it’s open though, it’s a hotspot for hiking, for those wanting a dayhike in the valley all the way up to those wanting to climb some of Japan’s highest peaks like Yarigatake and Oku-Hotaka-dake.
While it might get crowded around Kappa-bashi bridge, few visitors explore much further than that.
