Hiking in Japan in Autumn | KAMIKOCHI, Northern Japan Alps

Kamikōchi (上高地, Upper Highlands) is a remote mountainous highland valley within the Hida Mountains range, in the western region of Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The trail is approximately 18 kilometers in length. The average elevation of the valley floor ranges between roughly 1,400 m (4,600 ft) above sea level at the south end and roughly 1,600 m (5,200 ft) at the northern tip.
The park is officially open from mid-April to mid-November. The autumn leaves are at their peak in October, which we were very lucky to experience. It is a beginner level trek, and anyone can do it in one day. Entrance is free.

and thank you for watching!

[@alancrossley4461]

I’m so happy to see you relaxed and feeling well. I must say, that if I was on the trail, I would want a much larger bell. I don’t think that the average bear, with its deep fur coat, is going to be deterred by a bash on its head with such a small little bell! The Hida Valley looks truly spectacular and the river so clear and clean. I have always wanted to visit Japan and you have provided a marvellous insight into its beauty. Kind regards Alan

[@JunOutdoors]

Hi Alan, thanks for dropping by once again. I believe what scares the bears away is the frequency/pitch of the sound made by the bells (correct me if I'm wrong). Japan is a beautiful country :)

[@davidchan5424]

Wow! Japan and its beautiful autumn. Hideya Takayama, an amazing historical town with the steep thatched roofs! I had been to Takayama 3 x during my numerous trips to Japan! If you have the chance,maybe Jun-san should try the japanese persimmon called "kaki". To me, they are the best i uaf tasted,outbeating those from other countries! Have a wonderful trip!david, Kampar.

[@JunOutdoors]

Hi David, Takayama was a really beautiful town with beautiful old town vibe. We had a good time there, the morning market was also a highlight. And yes, I tired the persimmons in Japan - absolutely delicious, sweet, and juicy. The best :)

[@naritcom]

Try a trip to Laos, your vision & background music is a pleasant change from the usual tourist vlogger's

[@JunOutdoors]

Thanks, lots of places in the world to explore :)

[@milsmew]

Very very beautiful! ❤ (ignore the background tourist) 😂😂

[@JunOutdoors]

Yea need to ignore the background tourist. Block out the noise! :)

Awesome video Jun.. Such a beautiful place.. It was mentioned in the video that you visited the place around the end of October.. Any idea about how the place would be by mid of Nov?.. Would the autumn foliage be still there?..

[@Rainyyvlogs]

Hi! It will be closed. It’s only open for the first few days of November if I’m not mistaken. But mid November, definitely closed

[@JunOutdoors]

Hi, Kamikochi is open only on certain months of the year. June till around mid November. But the dates differ slightly every year so best to check their official website for opening and closing dates www.kamikochi.org/

[@pishedbloke]

So wonderful and beautiful! Do you think kids can complete this trail in one day?

[@JunOutdoors]

Yes, no problem for kids at all!

IF THERE IS ALL POWERFUL BENEVOLENT GOD AND IT IS THE TRUE CREATOR OF EVERY THING THEN WHY WOULD GOD WANT & NEED TO CREATE EVIL IN THE FIRST PLACE ? WHO IS GOD TALKING TO WHEN GOD SAYS ( LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE AND ACCORDING TO OUR LIKENESS ) ( BEHOLD ADAM HAS BECAME ONE OF US KNOWING GOOD & EVIL ) ?
