So we could not access the region on our road trip through Japan. We went to the Kama Tunnel, but no reasonable explanation was given to us. Dissapointing, but I hope others wont make the same mistake. You will get there only with tons of other tourists via booking a ticket. Enjoy.
I absolutely fell in love with this place. Since I’ve been in Japan, I’ve seen some beautiful spots, but nothing quite like this. The natural beauty here is beyond words, and the peacefulness you feel is something special. It’s the kind of place where you can just unwind and forget about everything. The views are incredible, and the calm atmosphere makes it the perfect escape from the busy city life. If you're looking to enjoy nature at its best and experience true peace, this is definitely the place to visit. I can’t recommend it enough!
Beautiful place! We had an amazing trekking experience & meeting the breathtaking beauty of Nature and its wildlife! Simple Love It!
Majestic Hotaka Mountain range from the Dale-sawa valley area in Kamikochi. It was an adventure to visit this place - they do not allow cars and only tour buses here!
If you drive, 🅿️ Parking is located about 7km from the entrance to the area - ¥1,400 fee. The local bus is ¥1,300 per person, one way. If you miss the bus because it’s stopped running, your only option is taking a cab and the charge is ¥5,200 one way. We stayed overnight in Kamikochi and the walk was about 20 mins from the bus to the hotel. I found it to be very difficult to visit this place unless of course you are part of bus tour which in that case you will need to deal with many tourist. The only advantage to staying in Kamikochi is being able to visit the bridge early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds of tourists.
The view around the bridge is very beautiful, but there are a lot of people. ☺️
