The view of the Hotaka mountain range from Kappabashi Bridge, a wooden
suspension bridge that is a symbol of Kamikochi, is particularly spectacular
and is a spectacular viewpoint!

Also, at Taisho Pond, where Mount Yakedake and the Hotaka mountain range are
beautifully reflected in the clear water, there is a mysterious landscape with
a forest of trees that died in the eruption.

• Easy travel as it is a tour

Take the JR Azusa Limited Express train to Matsumoto Station and back, and

Due to nature conservation measures, Kamikochi is closed to private cars

fried yam, apricot jelly, and pickled wasabi, making for a satisfying meal.

It will be handed over at Matsumoto Station and can be enjoyed on the bus or

<< What to wear when exploring Kamikochi >>

[April]

There is still a lot of snow remaining on the trail, and it is frozen solid,
especially in the shade. Sneakers can be slippery and dangerous, so it is best
to bring waterproof hiking boots and light crampons.

[May]

The scenery is like early summer, but snow can occasionally fall in the early
part of the month.

There will be chilly days with rain and wind, with the maximum temperature
around 10°C, so be sure to dress in layers, such as long-sleeved shirts and
windbreakers.

Towards the end of the month, there are days when the temperature exceeds
20°C, and it becomes so hot that you start to sweat while walking.

[June]

Even though it is the rainy season, there are many sunny days and the sunshine
reminds us of summer.

It can get chilly when it rains, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.

Be sure to bring rain gear such as a folding umbrella and rainwear. A mountain
parka will keep you dry in light rain.

[July]

It's cool and refreshing in the morning, but even a short walk during the day
will make you sweat.

T-shirts and polo shirts are fine, but the sun is strong, so you'll need long-
sleeved shirts and hats to protect yourself from the sun.

Be sure to drink plenty of water.

From mid-month onwards, summer days with temperatures above 25°C may continue,
but on rainy days the temperature may not rise above 20°C, and when the wind
blows it doesn't feel as hot.

[August]

Kamikochi is also in midsummer mode, although the average maximum temperature
is around 23°C.

However, if you are in the sun, you will still sweat, so it is best to wear
absorbent and quick-drying innerwear and clothing.

Pair your shorts or mountain skirt with tights to protect yourself from the
sun and prevent injuries. Of course, don't forget your hat and rain gear.

You may occasionally encounter heavy rain, such as thunderstorms and showers,
which are typical of summer.

[September]

The maximum temperature will drop below 20°C, and the crisp, clear autumn days
are perfect for a stroll.

It gets cold in the mornings and evenings, and towards the end of the month
the minimum temperature drops below 10°C, making it feel chilly, so you'll
need warm clothing such as fleece or a hoodie.

Also, this is a time when typhoons are likely to affect you and there will be
a lot of rain, so be sure to bring rain gear.

[October]

The average daytime temperature is around 15°C, making it a comfortable place
to be.

Although the weather is relatively stable during this month, the weather in
the mountains is changeable and there is sudden rain and, on rare occasions,
snowfall, so proper winter clothing and rain gear are essential.

[November]

The number of days when the maximum temperature drops below 10°C is
increasing, and it is not surprising that snow could fall at any time.

Waterproof trekking shoes are essential as the trails can be icy and snowy.
