Kamikochi Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 12 photos

kamikochi is the best place to start to explore the japan alps!!! and it is no coincidence that the mountains are called alps, doesn`t it look just like switzerland or france?!! i arrived here to nagano-ken last august hiking up the hotaka-dake 3190 meters up to 2500 meters from gifu-ken and then descending to the beautiful valley of kamikochi with the rivers of clear turqoise waters :))

Great photos and comments! It is amazing you are the only one that has written about this place. It was my favourite place in Japan too.

Summer mountain-climbing season came. The photograph of the mountains in the North Alps which you photographed always remains in the impression. Thank you for having the photograph of fresh Kamikochi shown. The mountain is calling us the natural lovers!
