Kamikochi tours

About 3.5h journey to reach with 2 toilet stop so still ok. Beautiful place. Unfortunately we went on the last day before the park closure for the season and the shrine decided to close a day earlier. Hiked for 1h for nothing but at least the view there was therapeutic.

Whole Experience to Kamikochi The trip to Kamikochi was truly wonderful, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Traveling from Nagoya took about 3.5 hours, and it was absolutely worth it. Along the way, our tour guide explained the entire itinerary in detail and even shared some great food recommendations that we must try while in Nagoya.

Tour guide: The person was very good and took good care of the tour members most of the time. She tried her best to help when needed and was very responsible. Accommodation options: The hotel was a bit old, and the room had a smell. I planned to open the window to air it out, but a few bugs flew into the room 😓. As a result, I couldn't sleep well all night. The hotel was clean, just a bit old. Itinerary: The itinerary was very rushed. The page introduction said the stay at Tateyama would be 6 hours, but we took the first mode of transportation at 8:30 AM in Ogizawa, and by 1:15 PM, we had already arrived at Tateyama Murodo. The overall feeling was too rushed, and in the end, we even skipped the Bijodaira station and took the bus directly from Murodo back to Tateyama Station. The weather didn't affect any of the transportation being suspended, so I don't understand why it was so rushed. Even Kamikochi didn't have enough time to see all the attractions. However, this is a limitation of group tours. After gaining experience, I can travel independently. Tateyama Kurobe and Kamikochi are places where you can have different experiences in all four seasons and are very worth visiting again.

The itinerary itself is very simple, which is the section from Taisho Pond to Kappa Pond in Kamikochi, and the section from Ogizawa to Murododaira in Tateyama Kurobe. Because the transportation to these two places is not convenient, it is a good choice to entrust it to a travel agency. At night, I stayed at Kurobe Tourism Hotel. Although it is not new, it is very large and clean, with hot springs. Dinner is a buffet with sushi and crabs. It is a comfortable stay. The tour guide Anni is very kind. She didn't introduce the attractions much, but she actively helped with the needs, which was considered a complete success. It was a pity that I didn't see the snow wall in Tateyama Kurobe this time because of the strong wind, but the weather in Kamikochi and Murododaira was good, and I am very grateful. 2025/5/29.30

Tour guide Amy deserves the highest praise for her attentiveness and responsibility. She made flexible arrangements after the heavy snow blocked the road. The itinerary was also well-organized.

The weather was great that day, and the scenery at Kamikochi was beautiful. Our tour leader, Tomoka, was excellent and took great care of the group members and non-surfing participants, being very responsible. I will definitely come again next time.

The bus tour without a tour guide will provide Chinese maps, precautions and store discount coupons. It departs from the meeting point in Nagoya to Kamikochi. It takes about 3.5 hours to arrive without traffic jams. It will stop at the road station to rest, go to the toilet and buy things. The driver will clearly inform the boarding time, which is very suitable for solo travelers who do not speak Japanese. The driver drives very smoothly and very well. It is best to take a photo of the license plate to avoid getting on the wrong bus. Staying in Kamikochi for 4 hours is enough for hiking 5.7K. Although it is cloudy, the scenery is very beautiful. Because of the self-paid grilled rock fish lunch, coffee and dessert, I stayed too much time and finally hurried to catch up with the return time. It is a place worth visiting again. Next time I have the opportunity to come to Kamikochi again, I will still join this tour.

We experienced rain, snow and sun during our Kamikochi hiking tour. The scenery was stunning in autumn and we enjoy the nature walk in this cool weather. We didn’t feel tired and took many photos for this tour for remembrance.
