    The river was unbelievably clear, and with the snowy mountains in the distance, the view was so beautiful it looked like a computer wallpaper.

    Kamikochi, known as the “Japanese Alps,” is absolutely breathtaking!

    There are tons of visitors, but the crystal-clear river and the stunning Hotaka mountain range make it so worth it. Even a short stop here felt really healing.

    You can grab a meal at the visitor center and shop for lots of souvenirs too. There are also some unique restaurants by the river.

    I recommend the TROIS CINQ apple pie and ice cream.

    Years ago, I climbed Mount Yari in Japan. On the way down, I took the direct route through Kamikochi and stayed overnight at Hirayu Onsen. It was an unforgettable trip for me.

    The view of Kamikochi from Kappa Bridge is just amazing! Blue skies, lush greenery, and crystal-clear water—it's all so beautiful. The environment is really well protected here. Even the public restrooms require a small cleaning fee, which goes toward keeping the place nice and clean.
