Kamikochi, a paradise on earth.

Kamikochi is a beautiful and famous natural area in the Japanese Alps, located in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Traveling to Kamikochi can be done by using public transportation, as private cars are not allowed in the area. There are two main cities where people usually stay before visiting Kamikochi: Takayama and Matsumoto, both accessible by public bus. This time, I traveled from Takayama. After boarding the bus, you need to transfer at Hirayu Onsen before reaching Kamikochi. It is recommended to get off at the first stop and then walk slowly, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way until you reach Kappa Bridge. The total travel time is approximately 1-2 hours.
