Nagano, Japan | Day Trip to Kamikochi, Journey to the Home of the Gods! | Departing from Tokyo

it was 4 hours drive from Tokyo, this trip would require us to walk, they will drop us nearby Taishi-ike pond then we could start to walk, it was 3-4KM to the Terminal Bus. even though it was written that the english guide weren't provided, there is a staff that able to speak english to help us understand the guidance. it was fun and worth the walk

It was worth it!! It’s convenient to go to Kamikochi via tour bus since you don’t need to transfer many times. There will be 2 stops along the way as well where you can go to the toilet and buy some snacks.

It was so much fun. The location is great. Thanks so much to Travix tour.

A very good trip! Although the journey was long, the number of service area stops was reasonable. Plus, we stopped at the Suwa Service Area and got to see Lake Suwa, which was a pleasant surprise. The weather was fantastic that day, and both Lake Suwa and Kamikochi had incredibly beautiful scenery.

Before departure, staff will ensure that all reserved passengers have assigned seating. On the way to and from Kamikochi from Tokyo, there will be two rest stops of approximately 10-15 minutes each. The driver will confirm the boarding time with passengers. The stopover in Kamikochi until 3:30 PM is adequate for independent travelers to walk from the visitor center to Kappa Bridge, return to Taisho Pond, and finally gather back at the visitor center to board the bus. Although the return to the Marunouchi Building meeting point at Tokyo Station was at 9:30 PM, a full hour later than the scheduled 8:30 PM, the delay was understandable due to highway traffic on a Japanese national holiday (Autumn Equinox Day).

I recently had the chance to visit Kamikōchi in Nagano, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The service throughout the trip was excellent, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination itself.

I almost missed the bus and was going to be late due to the morning's train accident, but I managed to jump on just in time! The ride there was smooth. When we arrived, it was unfortunately raining in Kamikochi, but I still enjoyed the hike. On the way back, there was some traffic, but thanks to the driver's quick thinking, we avoided the worst of it and arrived at 9:30 PM. During the restroom breaks, I was able to enjoy Nagano by purchasing locally grown fruits and snacks. I would definitely like to do this again!

The timings were good, simple and clear, although no Japanese was spoken. 👍👍

It was a great tour but really tiring for one day only, we couldn't see all the main attractions in Kamikochi.

Had a great experience overall! The trip was well-organized, but it would have been even better with a little more free time to explore and roam around at our own pace.
