From Yokoo to Kamikochi

Atmosphere of Northern Japanese alps changed to Takao-san1. It’s a long long similar and boring trail to Kamikochi2 for 2 or 3 hours.


  1. 高尾山(たかおさん). A very famous mountain near by Tokyo. It became to be crowded more and more after being listed in the Michelin guide. Good for picnic as well as Kamikochi. ↩
  2. 上高地(かみこうち). One of the most famous scenic spot in Japan. You can go Yarigatake(槍ヶ岳・やりがたけ), Hotaka-dake(穂高岳・ほたかだけ), Kasumisawa-dake(霞沢岳・かすみさわだけ) and so on from there. Not only hikers but a lot of visitors who don’t hike up mountains also come here. Due to my car control, you have to access by bus. ↩
