We were blessed with good weather for our hike, and could already see the Hotaka mountain range and Mt. Kasagatake from the ropeway. From the observation deck at Nishihotakaguchi Station, we could also see Mt. Yari, the Great Kiretto, and the Gendarme. The view from the summit forest was spectacular! The restrooms at the station were clean and comfortable.
It's just one stop away from Hirayu Onsen Bus Terminal. The bear interaction is closed in winter, so it's quick and easy if you just want to watch. When you throw out some sweets, the bears beg for them and go after them, which is adorable. It only takes about an hour, so you can enjoy it while still saving time before checking into your hotel.
Director Guo meticulously planned the time at each attraction, and before we got off at each spot, he would inform us of the must-try restaurants and places to visit first, ensuring everyone could fully enjoy the trip. My husband and I remarked on how pleasant it felt to be walking on clouds. Thank you, Director Guo, for your care these past few days. Next time I have the chance to return to Nagoya, I'll definitely look for you again.
For tourists visiting Nagoya, joining a KKDAY day trip to and from Kamikochi is incredibly convenient. Kamikochi is so beautiful; the natural scenery is truly breathtaking.
