EP.2 Kamikochi (上高地): How to Get to Kamikochi

Today, I will share the ways to travel from the city of Matsumoto to Kamikochi. Since I stayed in Matsumoto for one night, there are two ways to get to Kamikochi. 1. Travel by bus from Matsumoto to Kamikochi (There are only two rounds, at 05:30 and 10:30 AM) in the year 2023. 2. Take a train and then a bus (I chose this method because it's a bit late). I started my journey around 7 AM, taking the train at JR Matsumoto Station on the Kamikochi Line to Shin-shima shima Station, which takes about 30 minutes. Upon arriving at Shin-shima shima Station, I bought a bus ticket to go up to Kamikochi National Park, which takes about an hour. Along the way, you will see dams and lush green nature, very beautiful. For the return trip, just walk to the Kamikochi bus station to buy a ticket back to Shin-shima shima to return to Matsumoto.
