Did you know that there is a place in Nagano Prefecture known as the Japanese Switzerland? 🇨🇭
Kamikochi, literally “the highland where gods descend”, is the ultimate tourist destination for nature lovers. 🏔 Nestled within Japan’s highest mountain range, this remote highland valley is blessed with rocky mountains, riverside forests and clear streams. Kamikochi is only open to the public from mid-April until mid-November and is a popular spot to enjoy autumn foliage in October.
Take your hiking boots and explore the trails along Azusa River, climb the surrounding peaks, or simply relax and enjoy a coffee, snack or meal and take in the fantastic views. ☕️
