Excursão de um dia a Kamikochi saindo de Nagoya: Kamikochi, Lago Taisho, Lago Tashiro, Ponte Kappa, Lago Myojin, Cordilheira Hotaka e Santuário Hotaka Okumiya (caminhada pela floresta natural).

I saw a TikTok about this place and became so fixated that I HAD to go there no matter what. Taking this tour was a great choice as it allowed for an easy transfer to and from Kamikochi. The first stop at Taisho Pond was breathtaking, which got me excited for the rest of the walk. The greenery of the forest in mid-June was a sight to behold, along with the Japanese Alps in the distance. The trail was not super crowded until you reached Kappa Bridge. There is also an additional trail to Myojin Bridge and Myojin First Pond, but only if you have an additional 2 hours to spare. I was taking my time on the first trail so I couldn't make it to the second, but I would definitely come back to do it!

Suesy fue una guía excelente, amable y conocedora; su energía hizo que un día lluvioso fuera mucho mejor. Sin embargo, al caminar bajo la lluvia, me perdí gran parte del paisaje debido a la niebla y también quedé completamente empapado. Se recomienda llevar equipo de lluvia adecuado y zapatos impermeables para los días lluviosos. Por lo demás, fue una experiencia genial.

2026/05/02 Kamikochi day trip itinerary. Kamikochi is a wonderful place, and the weather was super nice that day, so the scenery was incredibly beautiful in photos. The views along the way were also very picturesque! I joined a Klook tour, so I didn't have to worry about transportation. The fellow passengers on the bus today were all very quiet, not noisy at all. However, the time available to spend in Kamikochi was too short, only three and a half hours, which felt a bit rushed. Our tour guide, Zuo Sha, was very thoughtful and told us where the best spots were for taking photos. Driver Liu drove quickly but also very steadily.

Nagoya'da yalnız seyahat ederken en iyi deneyimlerden biri. Otobüs transferleri, kasvetli havaya rağmen çok sorunsuzdu. Bayan Sue, misafirperverliğiyle çok yardımcı oldu. İngilizce-Çince çeviri harikaydı. Nagano/Nagoya'da kesinlikle tavsiye edilen bir aktivite, tam bir doğa gezisi. Lütfen bu Japon Alpleri'ni, köprüyü ve güzel kristal berraklığındaki nehri koruyun!

The pick-up location was convenient, and the 45-seater large tour bus had comfortable seats and a stable ride. Our guide, Ruan Tao, was friendly and responsible, arranging everything perfectly, proactively providing information, and helping us take photos. We departed at 8 am, made one stop at a very crowded service area, and arrived at Taisho Pond in Kamikochi at 11:45 am. The weather was good, and we walked a bit more (briskly), noting that it can be cooler in the shaded areas of the mountain path. We reached Kappa Bridge at 1 pm, stayed for 15 minutes, and then continued uphill. The mountain path wasn't steep but had a lot of loose gravel. We arrived at Myojin Pond at 1:55 pm. Due to the long queue of people waiting to take photos by the pond, we only viewed it from the shrine before heading back. The environment was beautiful. We returned to Kappa Bridge at 2:35 pm. Before boarding the bus, we queued again to buy souvenirs. We departed from the Kappa Bridge parking lot at 3:15 pm and returned to Nagoya at 6:50 pm. Very satisfied! 👍🏻

The "Kamikochi Day Tour" from Nagoya was an excellent experience. Our guide, Suesy, was energetic and professional, fluent in both Chinese and English. She shared tips and strategies on the bus beforehand, allowing us to efficiently explore the main attractions according to our stamina. We also want to thank the driver for the smooth and safe long-distance journey, which made us feel very secure. The scenery of Kamikochi, with its lakes and mountains, is breathtaking. Although the drive was long, it was definitely worth the trip. Additionally, we highly recommend the popular apple pie and ice cream next to Kappa Bridge; their taste is amazing, so don't miss them!

The entire trip was great! Kamikochi is really beautiful. The 1-hour hike is very easy and even doable for my two-year-old. I would want to visit Kamikochi again during spring so it’s colder. Yukino, our guide, is very helpful too! She is very pleasant, easy to talk to, and she’s very knowledgeable about Kamikochi. So glad we chose to book with them.

An information email arrived the day before the tour. (Vehicle number, guide name, tour information) It would have been great if a map of the route had also been provided... Route ①: Taishoike Bus Stop > Taisho Pond > Tashiroike > Kappa Bridge > Kamikochi Bus Station (3.5km) / Route ②: Kamikochi Bus Station > Kappa Bridge > Myojin Bridge > Hotaka Shrine Okumiya & Myojin Pond > Yueze Wetland > Kamikochi Bus Station (5.6km). I was told that if you get off at Route 1, it's for beginners, and that the bus parking lot start was the beginning of Route 2. However, the guide got off, and it seemed like the driver also wanted us to get off, so I did. Everyone ended up starting from Route 1. The guide provided information in the vehicle, and it was a free tour. Thanks to this, I was able to thoroughly complete both Route 1 and 2 in three and a half hours (possible at a fast pace). Lunch was solved with snacks I brought. The surrounding restaurants and shops were crowded, and there was no time to eat... (The guide was late at the end... lol) Although time was short and it was busy, it was a good trip. Myojin Pond had an entrance fee of 500 yen. It was well worth the money. If I had more time, I would have liked to stay longer. - Visited on May 25, 2026

No group chat. It would be so much easier if they had one. Overall, the driver and guide were both nice. The price is worth it as the view is truly breathtaking. This tour was the highlight of our Japan trip. It took us 2 hours to walk from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge because of the view; everywhere you look, the scenery is picturesque.

We experienced rain, snow, and sun during our Kamikochi hiking tour. The scenery was stunning in autumn, and we enjoyed the nature walk in this cool weather. We didn't feel tired and took many photos on this tour as a memento.
