Best of Kamikochi

Kamikochi is a high-altitude plateau in the Northern Japan Alps, centered around the Azusa River. This selection features the 3,190-meter Mt. Okuhotaka, the highest peak in the range, alongside the iconic wooden Kappa Bridge. The list includes Taisho Pond, created by the 1915 eruption of Mt. Yakedake, and the sacred Myojin Pond located at Hotaka Shrine Okumiya. These sites represent the diverse alpine terrain, ranging from jagged granite ridges like the Gendarme to tranquil marshes and crystal-clear ponds.
