Day trip to Kamikōchi – one of the most beautiful spots in Japan 🇯🇵🏔

I recently took a day trip to Kamikōchi in Nagano, and it was honestly one of the most stunning places I’ve visited in Japan. The clear rivers, mountain views, and even a few cheeky monkeys made it unforgettable 🐒✨

A few quick tips if you’re planning to go:
– Best access: Bus from Matsumoto (about 1.5 hours).
– Bring snacks/water – limited shops once you’re inside.
– Wear proper shoes – lots of scenic walking trails.

I filmed my experience and put together a short vlog if you want to see what it’s like:

Has anyone here visited Kamikōchi before? Would love to hear what season you went (I’m tempted to go back in autumn 🍂).
