Kamikochi - Japan's Premier Mountain Resort in Autumn Located in the Chubu Sangaku National Park, Kamikochi is a breathtaking alpine valley elevated at 1,500 meters. During the autumn season (late September to early November), the valley transforms into a vivid canvas of reds, oranges, and golds. The brilliant foliage reflecting on the crystal-clear waters of the Azusa River and Taisho Pond creates an unforgettable, picture-perfect landscape.
【Must-Visit Spots for Autumn】 Kappa Bridge : The symbol of Kamikochi. Enjoy a stunning panorama of the Hotaka Mountains adorned with autumn leaves. (Best drop-off point: Kamikochi Bus Terminal)
Taisho Pond : Famous for its mirror-like surface reflecting the vibrant surrounding foliage and the majestic Mt. Yake.
Myojin Pond : A mystical, tranquil pond surrounded by serene forests, offering a deeply spiritual autumn experience.
Recommended Clothing & Notes for Autumn Temperature : The average high in autumn is around 13℃ (55℉). Mornings and evenings can be quite chilly.
Clothing : Please wear comfortable walking shoes and layered, warm clothing. We strongly recommend bringing a jacket or fleece, and rain gear as mountain weather can be unpredictable.
