Activity itinerary

Shinhotaka Ropeway
  • 3m
  • Admission ticket included
Your journey to the Shinhotaka Ropeway begins with a scenic drive through the beautiful Hida region. As you travel, the landscapes shift from quaint villages to lush forests, creating the perfect introduction to the day’s alpine adventure. Upon arriving at the Shinhotaka Ropeway, prepare for an unforgettable ascent. This two-staged ropeway takes you through breathtaking alpine scenery, with each stage offering increasingly stunning views of the Northern Japan Alps. From verdant valleys to rugged, snow-capped peaks, the scenery evolves dramatically as you climb. The gondola’s large windows provide uninterrupted views, immersing you in the grandeur of the mountains. At the summit, the observation deck offers more than views—it’s an alpine sanctuary. Stroll along trails that wind through resilient high-altitude flora, and take in the crisp mountain air. Surrounded by towering peaks and panoramic vistas, this serene spot is a perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility.
Kamikochi
  • 6h
The afternoon takes you to Kamikochi, a jewel of the Japanese Alps celebrated for its pristine natural beauty. This serene valley provides a striking contrast to the morning’s alpine adventure, with its lush greenery, the gentle flow of the Azusa River, and majestic peaks framing the landscape. Your walk begins near Taisho Pond and follows the crystal-clear Azusa River, the lifeline of Kamikochi. Along its banks, scenic spots invite you to pause and appreciate the tranquility or capture stunning photos of nature’s calm. Highlights include the iconic Kappa Bridge, offering breathtaking views and a chance to immerse yourself in the valley’s peaceful charm. After the guided walk, enjoy 1 hour and 30 minutes of free time to explore Kamikochi at your own pace. Whether you relax by the river, venture to the secluded Myojin Pond, or photograph the breathtaking scenery, this time is yours to connect with the valley’s serene beauty before concluding your alpine journey.
