In the center of Kamikochi, a short walk from the bus terminal, stands the Kappabashi (Kappa Bridge). From the Kappabashi, hiking trails lead up and down the valley and towards the summits of the surrounding mountains.
Depending on your hiking experience and objectives, there are different route options, from flat terrain to steep climbing to the peak. The main objective of this tour is to bring travelers the most iconic scenery of Kamikochi such as ponds, river and trails. If you are a serious hiker, please discuss with us on the feasibility in advance. You will take much more from this tour than simply walking around by yourself.
We will enjoy lunch and drinks in the lodging area. There are various lodging options inside Kamikochi. If you have time to stay overnight, you can have even more memorable experience to take home.
