The Japan Times

Kamikōchi (上高地) is a mountainous highland valley in the western part of Nagano Prefecture, Japan. In the autumn of 2022, we visited there on a perfect day to enjoy the splendid scenery, and hiked from Kappa Bridge to Myōjin Pond. A perfect place to recover from Tokyo’s hustle and bustle. 🏔️🥾
