Although the initial meeting time was not exact, the itinerary clearly stated meeting at 8:00 and departing at 8:10. Upon arrival, our guide, Chen, said the meeting time would be between 8:10 and 8:20:25. While this didn't affect our arrival time, the inaccurate timing made us adhere to the schedule and even arrived much earlier. One person couldn't find the meeting place, and a whole group had to wait. I think the meeting and departure times should be more clearly stated. Also, the round trip to Kamikochi took 3.5 hours by car, which was a bit tiring, but thankfully, it was worth it. We stopped at Daisho Pond, got off the car, and walked slowly, taking photos, until we reached Kappa Bridge. It took nearly two hours, compared to the official timeline of 80 minutes, so it took quite a while. The lake was so beautiful and clear. I wanted to get down to the shore, but I was afraid of falling. There were people taking beautiful photos below. The most important thing to do after the trip was to use the restroom, which required 100 yen, which you can redeem.
For self-tourists, participating in a day is really convenient, can go one day to different attractions, and especially distant attractions, white silk waterfall is beautiful, dragonfly forest trail, walk up the view is beautiful, go to the left Yilan production area to eat ramen, couple rock near the beautiful scenery, tour guide Xiao Su arranged well all day, hard work!
