Kamikochi: A beautiful place in both the early morning and daytime.

I visited Kamikochi in Nagano. In the early morning, Kamikochi was shrouded in mist over the Azusa River, creating a very mystical atmosphere. During the daytime, the strong sunlight highlighted the deep blue of the river, emphasizing its beauty. The main tourist spots in Kamikochi are Taisho Pond, Kappa Bridge, and Myojin Pond.

Due to private car restrictions, access to Kamikochi is by bus. The typical route involves purchasing a round-trip bus ticket at the Sawando Parking Lot from Matsumoto, traveling to Taisho Pond, and then walking for about an hour to Kappa Bridge. The trail is not steep, making it a pleasant hike.
