Kamikochi – Yari – Hotaka Circuit, Japan

by site editor Rick McCharles

Already in Tokyo, I’m looking at tomorrow heading for the Northern Alps to hike out of Kamikōchi:

… a remote mountainous highland in the western portion of Nagano Prefecture, Japan, which has been preserved in its natural state. …

It is sometimes referred to as the “Japanese Yosemite,” although it is considerably smaller than its American counterpart. …

Japan’s classic alpine route.
