.... Wonderful and probably the most iconic view of the mountainous highland valley Kamikochi... Kappa Bridge situated in the center of Kamikochi (literally "upper highlands") is the perfect place to see the Japanese Alps... a pristine mountain valley carved out by the glacial water of the Azusa River and surrounded by some of the tallest peaks of Central Japan's Northern Alps... stunning mountain views, crystal clear waters, and well-placed food huts, makes it one of the most popular and best Japanese Alps hiking areas... Kamikochi is busy with tourists throughout its open months, but probably the most crowded in October when the autumn foliage comes to life... with great special "Matsumoto Castle" postmark also located in Nagano Prefecture... Thanks a lot Asami!【ツ】
Approximately 18 km in length, Kamikochi is a high mountain valley located in the Northern Japan Alps in Chubu Sangaku National Park.
It is surrounded by tall mountains, including Nishihotakadake (2909 m), Okuhotakadake (3190 m), Maehotakadake (3090 m) and the active volcano Yakedake (2455 m).
Chūbu-Sangaku National Park is a mountainous park and was established around the Hida Mountains and encompasses parts of Nagano, Gifu, Toyama and Niigata prefectures. It was designated a national park in 1934.
There are many points in the Hida Mountains within the park that are above 3,000 m.
