Review:
Located in the Northern Japan Alps of Nagano Prefecture, Kamikochi is a well-known resort featuring some of the most awe-inspiring mountain scenery in Japan. Nearly 5,000 feet above sea level, Kamikochi is an almost 10-mile-long plateau in the Azusa River Valley. It’s situated in a section of Chubu Sangaku National Park, surrounded by towering mountains including Maehotakadake, Nishihotakadake, and Okuhotakadake as well as the active volcano Yakedake. Since it resides within the national park, it has only been moderately developed with less than ten souvenir shops, mountain huts, hiking trails, and hotels. It is the ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and naturalists.
