[Nagano] Come to Kamikochi for a picnic before the mountain closures

#Outing #Nagano #Kamikochi

Kamikochi, located in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, is a beautiful plateau surrounded by magnificent mountains. The natural scenery here is amazing, especially in autumn, when the colorful leaves and clear rivers complement each other, making people forget to leave.

Early in the morning, we set off from Matsumoto and took the bus to Kamikochi. The scenery along the way is picturesque, with mountains and rivers intertwining, making people feel happy. After arriving at Kamikochi, the first thing that catches our eyes is the majestic Mount Hotaka. The towering peaks look particularly spectacular against the blue sky.

We chose to hike along the trail along the river, admiring the clear Azusa River along the way. The water is like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountain scenery. As we walked, we came to the famous Kappa Bridge. This ancient wooden bridge is the best place to take pictures of the beautiful scenery of Kamikochi. Standing on the bridge, surrounded by mountain scenery and autumn colors, I couldn't help but pick up my camera and capture the beauty of this moment.

At lunch, we tasted fresh mountain vegetables and local specialty soba noodles at a local small restaurant. They were delicious and left us unforgettable. After dinner, we continued exploring and headed to Taisho Pond, where the water shines like sapphire and the surrounding red leaves are reflected in the water, making it feel like a fairyland on earth.

You can feel the charm of nature in every corner of Kamikochi. Whether it is the magnificent mountain scenery or the quiet lake, I am deeply intoxicated. This trip to Kamikochi not only allowed me to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also made me feel the power and tranquility of nature.
