The 3 hours climb from the bridge to the hut is quite tough. It is not very steep but it is constantly climbing. If you are worried about the challenge, suggest to stay in Yokoo hut instead of kamikochi
Hi Just had a look at your great video. Couple of Questions please You had mentioned 32kms??? Is that including return trip? Do you need any permit or meet any conditions such as proper hiking gear?? We have done Mt Everest EBC hike upto namche bazar with Skechers Me n my wife are both 65+ Planning to do this in coming April 2025 We went to kappa bashi April 2024 that's when we saw the beautiful mountains Tks a lot Cheers from Sri Lanka
@@kapilachandrabharathi7134 yes the 32km is return journey. It is quite long from the bridge to youku area but it is all flat. 3 hours walk one way. We were thjnking of staying at youku before going up to karasawa. Lots if people do that. If you have been to Namche, i think you guys can manage
Thanks for your great sharing. It really give us motivation to do the same trip in future. I am just curious, it seem we can wild camp without needing to mandatory stay at the hostel. Right?
Yes we can camp there without any permits. There are also toilet facilities for camper but may need to pay a bit to use them. I forgot the price. The place is really surreal. Worth going there
@@kathychen566 Great.. Goya is a beautiful hut in a perfect location. I think there are 3 female and 2 male inside the hut. There are also toilet located outside the hut near the side door.
@@MissTitaC there could be snow even end sept. If you intend to climb further to hotaka peak then make sure you bring along snow spikes. If only to karasawa then no need
chill and beautiful..and can smell the fresh air
Worth going. Even if you dont hike Kamikochi alone is good enough.. Will publish a video on this place soon
beautiful hike....looking forward to seing your next part of the video as I am also thinking of going to mt. hotaka
Wow, such a beautiful hiking trail. The color of autumn foliage is awesome. Is it difficult to go up all the way from the bridge to the hut?

May I ask was there heater in the sleeping area?
@@kathychen566 there is no heater inside the sleeping area. But they do provide few layers of blanket for the sleep. Its good enough for us in oct
