I've been to Kamikochi in the middle of summer in 2018. I remember it being 41 degrees Celsius down in the valley, and it being a pleasant 22 degrees Celsius in Kamikochi, was heavenly to escape the heat for a day!!
Thanks a lot on always giving the best ideas to go off the beaten track in Japan. I have been already 5x in Japan in last 4 years, but always not enough time to see all when new sites pop up always. 😅 So far collected nearly 300 visit wishes and many are hard to reach areas and take to rent a car, but that is the hard option cause never drove on left side and even if Japan has not so much traffic by cars, it has way different rules and i am the one who always rents cars outside of major cities, but dont know how is renting cars in remote Japan places cause of signing contracts and use of English. 😖 So far did all of this kind of travel when renting bikes at remote train stations. But car gives more of freedom and time saving.
Gujo-Hachiman and Kamikochi are together with Takayama, Shirakawa-go and Shin-Hotaka on my itinerary through central Japan for my trip planned for 2020. Sadly because of the pandemic I had to postpone the trip. Hopefully in 2022 we can visit Japan again.
My Kamikochi trail experience start from Matsumoto station (After Tateyama Alpine). From Matsumoto Station taking the same bus (Highland Express) to Kamikochi Bus Terminal which is about 1 hour 45 minute journey.
Hi I’m going to Japan in May for 2weeks and would love to spend the last 3 days somewhere naturey/relaxing/ serene. I’m struggling to pick a location after Osaka- to spend 3 nights, before I head back to Tokyo then back to US. From your experience would you recommend Kamikochi or Togakushi more?? ( I also watched your Togakushi video and loved the spirituality of the forests/shrines) Or im open to any suggestions of a different location. I will be taking public transportation the whole time. Would love to include an onsen stay in the 3days
Watching this central Japan series with amazing shots and everything as usual (and Raina being funny), I wonder if you've ever planned to shoot videos about hiking for this channel? And I don't mean the "hiking around in Koya-san"-hiking, but more the "hiking this trail"-hiking... If that makes sense 😆 I mean this video already has half of it's content regarding to hiking, which I absolutely love!!
Thank you so much for the nice comment! We actually made a hiking video in the past: ua-cam.com/video/4YUej6aF2gg/v-deo.html And if you are looking for more information on hiking in Japan, we have a dedicated page on our website here: www.japan-guide.com/e/e2427.html
Kamikochi has been on my list for a long time. This confirms it once again I just have to visit this place. It is so beautiful. When is the best time to visit this beautiful place?
I confirm, it really was exceptionally beautiful! We recommend visiting during the autumn foliage season (which usually peaks in mid-October). The other best time to visit would be from mid-May to July (when you can observe a wide variety of alpine flora). If you need more information on Kamikochi, feel free to check our dedicated page here: www.japan-guide.com/e/e6040.html
Thank you for your comment! It seems some people are experiencing audio issues during the talking point scenes. To make sure this does not happen again, we will be using new microphones for future videos!

Kamikochi looks beautiful! Can’t wait to visit one day. I still have my plastic food replica that I made in Gujo Hachiman a few years back.
Ah episode 3, I'll enjoy watching these videos to know more great places to visit. Thank you Japan Guide
As an avid outdoorsman, I would love to visit at some point. The mountains and the countryside look absolutely beautiful there. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. I just added the hike to the itinerary list of my April trip. Fingers crossed, I will be allowed in.
The food replicas are so interesting and attractive. And the scenic locations are so beautiful.
Thank you very much for the nice comment!
Definitely adding plastic food replica making to our itinerary for our next trip. The kids a really excited to do it 😀
I've been watching your videos and I've always envied your job Miss Ong.
Wow, Really Amazing !!
My next trip to Japan has to be this place! SO beautiful and peaceful! It looks like Spring or Summer is the best time to visit.

What happened to the audio when Raina is speaking on camera?
Do you only have one earbud in? I couldn't hear it with only my right ear bud in, but could hear her with both in.

Nice video!!
Great one! Thank you. Please note there are some issues with the sound in the video.

Kamikoji looks so magical!
It was definitely a highlight of the trip for us!
Amazing!
Superb video! Love it! But, I would starve to death in Japan!
🥺 when will Japan open her borders for international travellers.
マスクをする事・義務付けられる事により
自由が奪われると叫ぶ国＆人がいる限り日本は旅行者を受け入れない。
