Things to do in Kamikochi

Magical Kamikochi experience (and lots of monkeys!) despite the weather. I joined the Kamikochi 1-day tour yesterday, and even though the weather wasn’t ideal, I had a truly amazing experience! We hiked the trail from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. A wonderful highlight was seeing a lot of wild monkeys passing right by us along the way: A huge thank you to our tour guide, Mr. Gu Rung, who was incredibly kind, approachable, and spoke excellent, easy-to-understand English. Our bus driver also deserves special praise-he was very patient and understanding with group members who ran late, keeping the trip stress-free. The combination of beautiful nature, wildlife, and great hospitality made this an unforgettable day. I would absolutely love to book another tour with this company in the future!

This was my second time booking with this travel agency. We departed on time and arrived back in Nagoya exactly at 6 PM. The journey was smooth, and there were only eight of us on the shuttle bus, which made it very comfortable. I’m satisfied with the service, even though the weather wasn’t ideal—it was raining and the Alps didn’t show. I still had a great experience overall. I would definitely book again next time.

This tour was amazing. We arrived at Kamikochi at 11:45am and went back to Tokyo by 3pm. Time was enough for us to take a lot of pictures, have lunch and dessert as well. The tour guide was nice and attentive. The bus was super comfortable as well. 10/10 experience!

Kamikochi, known as "God's Homeland," truly is the most beautiful hiking destination. Walking along the Azusa River trail, nestled beneath the Hotaka mountain range, is incredibly refreshing. The breathtaking scenery, where the clear stream intertwines with the Hotaka peaks, is stunning and truly uplifting. Our tour guide, Yukino, was exceptionally dedicated on this trip. She meticulously prepared all the information, including introductions to attractions, suggested routes, and food recommendations, providing comprehensive details to all participants. She also catered to both Chinese and English-speaking guests, proving to be an incredibly diligent and responsible leader. Highly recommended!

Tour absolutely worth visiting, the time is limited and not enough to visid everything unless you walk very fast without breaks... But the place is stunning even on a basik route. Guide Han spoke really good English and explained all important information and gave useful recommendations.

highly recommend taking a chance on this trip if you’re in Nagoya. the views were incredible and breath taking. don’t be deterred by social media posts saying that the place is crowded. there is ample space for everyone and honestly you will be able to take beautiful photos without people. it is very very worth it and taking this bus trip package makes the travel less hassle. all you have to do is follow the schedule and youll be on your way to see kamikochi! please take a chance!!!

love to visit here , my wishlist to visit another prefecture of japan complete.. this one very take my heart . hope to come again with my husband .. view very perfect!! tour guide also bery helpful and clear ..

I was initially a bit anxious as I booked this tour despite its lack of reviews and I’m a solo female traveller. I’m returning to Tokyo now and wanted to share my experience. The long drive is worth it for a great view of Kamikochi if you’re short on time. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and found the price very reasonable for a 9-hour round trip. The weather was perfect, enhancing the beautiful scenery. My guide, Cathy, was accommodating and kind, making me feel safe and taken care of. The driver also drove safely. I highly recommend this tour, but be prepared for a long day! There’s plenty of opportunities to nap during the bus ride anyway.

The meeting point was easy to find, and the departure was on time. Even though it was rainy and cloudy on the day we went, we were able to comfortably walk the 3.5 km without getting tired. Our guide, Yamada, provided detailed explanations in both English and Japanese. We made three stops at rest areas, and we arrived back in Nagoya on time, around 7 PM.
