Hiking in the Northern Alps

The majestic peaks of the northern Japan Alps encircle Kamikochi at the end of the road in the valley of Azusa-gawa.

From Kamikochi, you may go out on hikes of varying durations and difficulties, with the easier routes staying close to the river valley and the more challenging routes ascending the neighboring hills. You'll need sturdy footwear, even in the summer, since there are still snowy areas.
