[Kamikochi] A must-see for nature lovers! The spectacular views of Kamikochi!!

I've seen photos of Kappa Bridge in various places! I've always wanted to go there, and finally I was able to visit this time!! I've seen many photos of Kamikochi and thought they were edited, but when I saw it in person, I was shocked! It was so beautiful!!! It was like I was in a different country. I definitely recommend this place to nature lovers. [Tourist points]--- ○ If you go, you must stay overnight in Kamikochi → Hiking in Kamikochi is the best thing, but the morning when there are not many people is definitely recommended. Also, the hike will be aimed at Taisho Pond or Myojin Pond near Kappa Bridge. Both take more than an hour round trip, so if you're going for a day trip, you can either get off the bus at Taisho Pond and walk to Kappa Bridge, or go from Kappa Bridge to Myojin Pond and come back. Kamikochi has restrictions on private cars, and it takes quite a long time to get there, so I recommend staying overnight and taking a leisurely hike starting early the next morning! ○ Wear hiking boots → If you are going hiking, even if you are not going to hike, it is a good idea to have them. There were some places where the footing was rougher and more slippery than expected, and many places were wet with dew from the grass. ○ Insect repellent and long pants are essential → The hiking path is basically paved, but in places with lots of grass your feet will sting and you will get bitten by mosquitoes a lot. [Caution] -------- ○ You cannot drive to Kamikochi → To protect the environment, you will need to park your car in a nearby parking lot and take a bus. So dress as lightly as possible. This time I stayed at the Konashidaira campsite, so in addition to the bare minimum of a tent and sleeping bag, I brought a tarp and plenty of drinks and food, and I regretted it because it was too heavy. At Konashidaira Campsite, they rent out tarps and sell a lot of food, and the food and drinks were about the same price as buying them at a supermarket. The rental equipment, such as tarps, is not expensive, so I recommend reducing your luggage as much as possible and purchasing them locally. #Kamikochi #KonashidairaCampsite #SeimeiShrine #TaishoPond #TravelingwithMe
