Japan's most spectacular mountain scenery attracts 1.2 million people annually.
Kamikochi offers one of Japan's most spectacular mountain sceneries. Its magnificent landscape is designated as a Special Natural Monuments along with Special Places of Scenic Beauty. Walter Weston, a British Anglican missionary praised Kamikochi in his writing “Mountaineering and Exploration in the Japan Alps” in 1896 which made Kamikochi an internationally well-known mountain area.
Its well-kept trails look out upon a range of mountains with a height of three-thousand meters, like Hotaka mountain. As the Kamikochi area is one of the entrances for hikes to Mt. Yarigatake, there are many serious climbers around with large backpacks. If you’d like to enjoy this beautiful nature in a more relaxed way, the well-maintained trail walk from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge is recommended.
The area closes from Mid-November to the end of April and private cars are not allowed throughout the year. This provides for an environment of rich animal life and vegetation, well preserved with clean water and air.
The majestic mountains, beautiful ponds and marshlands, and the tranquil sounds of the crystal river change depending on the weather and the time of day.

壯麗的山景和清澈的溪流讓我留下了許多深刻的印象，尤其這裡的空氣清新加上平坦的步道很適合各年齡層的人來這裡踏青健行。
上高地溫泉旅館有免費的足湯，可以讓登山健行的遊客可以稍微歇息泡足湯哦，旅館也附有日歸溫泉，不用住宿也可以享受溫泉消除疲勞，是不錯的地方~
在梓川旁邊的餐椅上野餐，欣賞上高地的楓紅美景。
景色令人讚嘆不已，所有人都沉浸在這美麗的風景。
