Tokyo Kamikochi Hiking, Kappa Bridge, Tashiro Pond, Taisho Pond Natural Oxygen Bar

I regret not coming here earlier. It's a great place to breathe oxygen!

Transportation from Tokyo to Kamikochi:
Take the express Asusa from Shinjuku Station to Matsumoto Station
Take the Matsumoto Electric Railway from Matsumoto Station to Shin-Jima Station
Take the Alpiko Bus from Shin-Jima Station to Kamikochi Bus Terminal

Recommended hiking route: Azusagawa Left Bank Line
Kamikochi Bus Terminal-3min-Kappa Bridge-30min-Tashiro Bridge-20min-Tashiro Pond-25min-Taisho Pond

📍Kappa Bridge
TOP1 check-in point, you can take pictures of the bridge + Hotaka Mountain Range + Azusagawa
The view is very wide, and there are many restaurants and shops nearby
You can replenish your batteries here first Physical strength and nutrients before walking

📍Tashiro Bridge
The road from Kappa Bridge to Tashiro Bridge is very flat and easy to walk
There is a "Weston Monument" on the way that you can pay attention to
Although he is British, he is also known as the "Father of Modern Mountaineering in Japan"

📍Tashiro Pond
There are two roads after crossing Tashiro Bridge: the forest line and the Azusagawa line
In summer, it is recommended to take the forest line, which is relatively cool and summer-proof
The Hotaka Mountain Range seen from Tashiro Pond is definitely not inferior to Kappa Bridge
There are also benches here that can be used as an intermediate supply station

📍Taisho Pond
The eruption of Yakedake volcano caused a lot of dead trees, and there are not many now. But the scenery of Yakedake and Taisho Pond is still unique

✔️If you are full of energy at this time
You can walk or take a bus near Taisho Pond back to Kappa Bridge, have a meal at Kappa Bridge and continue to Myojin

✔️If you are exhausted at this time
You can take a bus near Taisho Pond to Hirayu Onsen and other places outside Kamikochi

✔️If you only want to hike one way
You can choose to get off at Taisho Pond at the beginning, then walk to Kappa Bridge, and have lunch at Kappa Bridge at noon

Kamikochi is valuable because the route is flexible and the scenery is good, so you can walk any way without delay. Stress-free hiking, so it is suitable for men, women, young and old👍
