[Kamikochi] Don't miss Myojin Pond in the early morning! A power spot of nature

While camping in Kamikochi,
I woke up early and headed to Myojin Pond.
It was just under 40 minutes one way from the campsite where I was staying.
It was just the right amount of walk!

The air at Myojin Pond was clear early in the morning,
and the view was truly breathtaking.

The sunlight, the mist on the water's surface, and the green of the trees reflected in the water were truly beautiful!!

[Sightseeing Tips]

○Mornings are definitely recommended
→Many tourists arrive in the Kamikochi area by bus during the day, so in the morning, when there aren't many people, you can relax and take photos. If you're staying overnight, be sure to go in the morning!

○Hiking boots are essential
→Since I wasn't planning on hiking this time, I only brought sneakers. The footing was wet with morning dew, making it slippery and getting my shoes wet.

○Even in summer, a jacket is essential
→I went in late July, and the mornings were colder than I expected. My Uniqlo down jacket came in handy.

[Caution]------------
○Beware of bears
→It seems like bears are frequent in this area, and the campground had some pretty strict rules. For that reason, I brought a bell with me while walking through the forest, just in case. I also considered eating breakfast in the forest along the way, but decided to avoid the early morning crowds.
