Kamikochi Official Site
Chubu Sangaku National Park in Nagano, Japan
We help people connect with nature and create lasting memories in the Northern Japan Alps. The park is open to visitors until November 15.
Japan is full of beautiful contrast and lives in tension with itself. One of the most beautiful tensions hangs between the booming urban life in big cities and the rest of Japan where a large population lives in harmony with nature, enjoying the seasons in rural Japan.
