Surrounded by the Japan Alps, Kamikochi is considered one of the most beautiful scenic areas in Japan. We are going to take you to a place that is difficult to visit on your own due to the conservation laws (POV restrictions). Our hike starts at Taishoike Pond that was created by the eruption of Mt. Yakedake. We will slowly walk on a promenade along Azusa River, enjoying the natural scenery of Taishoike Pond and its magnificent alpine plants; Kappabashi Bridge, a symbol of Kamikochi; and the mysterious pond of Myojinike.
