This is a great option for families with mothers, as the path is relatively flat. Wear comfortable shoes. Our guide will accompany you from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge, stopping at rest stops along the way to see Lake Suwa and the Yatsugatake mountain range. The drive from Tokyo to Kamikochi takes four hours one way, but if there are group tours departing from Nagano, the journey to Kamikochi takes less than two hours. You can also explore the beautiful city of Nagano. Unlike Tokyo, the people in Nagano are very friendly. I hope everyone will encourage group tours departing from Nagano to be formed so you can experience the friendliness of the people and the beauty of the scenery.
It was a very fulfilling trip, and we visited all the must-see attractions. The boat ride on Lake Kawaguchi was great; on a hot day, you could comfortably enjoy the air conditioning while admiring the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji.
This trip was made possible by choosing a chartered car service; the entire experience exceeded expectations! The chartered car tour was fantastic! The driver was punctual, reliable, friendly, and a first-rate driver, so there was absolutely no worry about getting lost or getting stuck in traffic. The car was clean and the seats were comfortable. The itinerary was flexible, allowing us to rest whenever we got tired, truly enjoying a vacation! The car was clean and spacious, with powerful air conditioning, so even on long journeys, we weren't fatigued. The itinerary was well-planned and followed our pace perfectly, so we didn't have to rush and had a very relaxing time. It was excellent value for money!
Delicious food, the meat is quite good, the location is easy to find, and the service is excellent.
