Kamikochi is designated as a Japanese Natural Monument. You can enjoy pleasant hiking in the beautiful great nature. When you're hungry, take a rest in the shade of a tree, and the lunch you eat in front of the clear Azusa River tastes excellent.

At Hakuba Happo Ridge in the early July, you can see the flower fields of alpine plants and mountain reflection on the lake as well as the view of Japan's North Alps slightly covered with snow. If you don't have enough strength, you can enjoy walking on the mountain ridge easily with gondola and lift!◎Parking area is available. From Nagano Station, you can access by express bus. Although sunny days will be the best, you can enjoy watching the small alpine plants wet with dew in the cloudy days.
