We waked up and took a hot spring in the early morning. It was so good. It's a best way to wake my body up in the morning, I guess. It's rainy season, but it was nice weather in the morning. So we went to Kamikochi highland where is a national park. I got on the bus first around 7AM, and changed the train at Matsumoto, and then changed the bus again at Shin-ShimaShima. We finally arrived at Kamikochi around 10AM.
Kamikochi highland is located in the central Japan, and in the Japan Alps. This area is in National park and there is a lot of natures, beautiful places. The private cars are not allowed to enter Kamikochi, because we needed to preserve natural environment. Actually, we came to here by bus.
We went hiking around the Taisho-ike (pond), Azusa river, and Kappa-bashi (bridge) with two hours. The green season has come to Kamikochi, but we could get to see the sonw in top of the mountains. My wife was really happy, because we could see the nice view and it was cooler than Shiga. We’d like to stay in Kamikochi highland someday.
In the photo above, the Azusa river is really beautifull. It's just amazing!
