Summer to autumn foliage season exclusive — plan your Kamikochi trip now!

If you want to witness the breathtaking hidden beauty of Japan's Northern Alps, don't miss this one‑day tour! Kamikochi is a must‑visit spot for Japanese locals in summer and autumn, surrounded by pristine nature and often called "Japan's Jiuzhaigou." Crystal‑clear streams, tranquil lakes, and majestic mountains come together like a poetic painting. In summer, the lush green forests provide cool shade, making it a perfect escape from the urban heat; as autumn arrives, the mountain trees gradually turn red, with azaleas and maple leaves unfolding a dreamy autumn landscape — every frame is unforgettable.

Gather promptly at 7:00 AM at Shinjuku West Exit, Tokyo MODE Gakuen. The tour guide will be holding the easygo flag, so you don't need to worry about finding the group. The coach will make a stop at Lake Suwa along the way, with a short rest from 10:00–10:20 to enjoy the lakeside scenery, stock up on supplies, and refresh before the main itinerary.

From 11:00 to 14:30, enjoy a full 3.5 hours exploring Kamikochi (lunch at your own expense). Stroll along the Azusa River, visit the iconic Kappa Bridge, and look up to catch panoramic views of the majestic Hotaka Mountain Range; head to Taisho Pond and quietly admire the stunning reflections of the mountains on the water. Walk along gentle trails, immerse yourself in the forest air, breathe in the fresh mountain atmosphere, and set your own pace for photos, rest, and exploration — even first‑timers can enjoy the charm of this hidden gem with ease.

After soaking in the mountain and water scenery, head back on the return journey and arrive near Shinjuku Station around 7:00 PM to disband. A one‑day round trip means no need to arrange mountain accommodation or deal with complicated transport planning. Taking public transport to and from Kamikochi on your own is time‑consuming and tiring; with this guided tour, a dedicated coach takes you directly there in total comfort, so you can save all your energy for the spectacular views. Seize this summer‑to‑autumn exclusive window, step into the legendary "place where gods descend," and experience Kamikochi's unique natural appeal firsthand.
