Kamikochi

It's very convenient to travel directly from Tokyo to Kamikochi, but the journey is quite long, with approximately 3-4 hours actually allotted in Kamikochi. There will be two rest stops along the way for restroom breaks. There are no Chinese-speaking guides; you need to plan your route in advance. The driver will indicate the pick-up times. Kamikochi boasts beautiful scenery and is worth a visit, but the mountain weather is unpredictable, so be sure to bring rain gear.

If you bring your own food for lunch, you'll have enough time to walk to Myojin Pond. There are too many people having lunch at Kappa Bridge. Kamikochi is really beautiful, and we actually saw a little bear.

The whole Tokyo was so hot that it melted planned the trip almost checked and wanted to leave Luckily the driver had been waiting nearby received a message within 10 minutes to pick me up on the ground back to the car a little late to leave feel life-threatening strongly recommended that you must must charter in the summer! !

Public transportation to Shanggaodi is relatively inconvenient and expensive, so booking this tour is the easiest, most convenient, and most economical option. Tour leader Amy is professional and considerate, making the whole experience very relaxing and comfortable. Highly recommended! 👍👍👍

This was my first time participating in a KKDay tour, and I immediately appreciated its convenience and efficiency. Our group consisted of only eight people, and the travel agency arranged for us to be transported in a large SUV, about the size of a minivan. There were rest stops along both the way, so we didn't have to worry about needing to use the restroom after drinking too much water during the hike. The friendly driver and tour guide, both from mainland China, provided simple explanations in different languages depending on the nationality of the group members. The ride was quite comfortable; the driver drove very smoothly, and we didn't feel cramped or uncomfortable on bumpy roads. Although we only had 3.5 hours in Shanggaochi, the tour guide thoughtfully provided us with a map with the route marked on it before we arrived, and also suggested several hiking routes suitable for our itinerary and their estimated timeframes for reference. Although we only had half an hour for lunch by the river after returning to the bus terminal, which was a bit of a shame as we didn't have time to buy delicious apple pie or souvenirs, I would definitely like to come back next time to explore another route we didn't get to and experience the different beautiful scenery of Shanggaochi. Thank you KKDay for providing this itinerary, giving travelers who want to go to Kamikochi but don't want to spend too much time on transportation another option. It's definitely worth taking!

It's simple and easy to use, and the price is relatively affordable. There weren't many people that day, so I recommend going in the morning; you're more likely to encounter heavy fog in the afternoon.

Because there were only a few of us, we took a small taxi up the mountain. The driver was very nice; he didn't speak Chinese, only the very basics of English, but he tried his best to communicate. We got off at Taisho Pond and started walking uphill. We had plenty of time, and we could also pick up our Shinkansen tickets a day in advance so we could board the train earlier if the time was right.

1. If you want to enjoy the Upper Highlands, choose to stay 4 hours of the trip to take the A + B route is definitely enough, the scenery is beautiful, the trail is also very good to walk, and there is time to go to the souvenir shop on the side. People with poor leg strength can also choose routes A or B, and there is plenty of rest time. 2. Although the hot spring hotel stayed at night is relatively old, but the environment is clean, breakfast / dinner buffet options are also quite many, delicious, more unfortunately the environment oil smoke smell is heavier. 3. The next day to Kurobe Tateyama, the tour guide Ame arranged for us the next section of transportation time, as long as the agreed time to the fixed point can go to the next stop, the night before checking into the hotel also stopped supermarket so that we can prepare food for the mountain or evening dim sum, do not worry about running out of food. There is also a stop at a rest stop on the return trip to Nagoya Station, where you can get off to buy things and go to the toilet. In the car there will also be a brief explanation of the background of the place we headed to, and after getting off the car was very active in helping to take pictures. The only drawback was that the weather was relatively bad that day and I couldn't go down to walk on the snow wall, but the overall experience was great!

The scenery was beautiful, the price was reasonable, the tour leader, Xiao Wang, was very nice and helped take photos along the way. The drivers were all very kind and friendly.
