Things to do in Kamikochi

The tour was a lot of fun, offering a close connection with nature and making it ideal for hiking enthusiasts. The weather was quite cold, and almost all the leaves had fallen. There are two walking routes available: an easy one and an advanced one (where you take a vehicle to Kappa Bridge and start hiking from there). The guide did a great job, though they spoke a bit too much Chinese.

Had a wonderful time on this nature trip! 🌿🌳 The fresh air, beautiful scenery, peaceful surroundings, and breathtaking views made every moment special. A perfect escape from the busy routine and a beautiful reminder of how amazing nature is. Also our tourguide is pretty cool and approachable ☺️ Truly refreshing and unforgettable! 💚✨

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.

The tour guide was friendly, cheerful, polite, and very accommodating. The gave lots of useful information about the place, too. The driver got us to Kamikochi and back to Nagoya safely and comfortably.

The 1-day bus tour to Kamikochi was comfortable and pleasant. Since I heard it might rain and be cold, I prepared accordingly, but thankfully the weather turned out great, and I couldn't take my eyes off the magnificent scenery the entire time we walked. I spent a happy day walking and taking pictures for three hours. I would like to thank our guide Paul and the driver, who kindly, attentively, and professionally took care of a tour group made up of people from various countries. I hope to see you again next year if the opportunity arises.

Wonderful experience! Fortunate that the sun was out last Oct 05 (Monday). We started our outbound hike from Kappa Bridge to Myojin THEN returned to Kappa Bridge using the other side of the route (alongside the Azusa River). Our guide Iris gave clear instructions & recommendations regarding this activity. We rewarded ourselves with the signature Kamikochi soft ice cream…the BEST so FAR! Thank you to the bus driver and tour guide Iris for ensuring that we have a safe & lovely hiking experience in Kamikochi!

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.
