Checking in to share that Kamikochi was awesome, and I'll likely want to keep revisiting this place sporadically throughout my life. Of course, we visited some other places in Japan (two new spots for me! i.e. Nara and Kawagoe) but a crazy amount of photos were collected around the River Azusa alone, haha.
It was freezing cold, though frost from overnight was melting.
We trekked from Kappabashi to Myojin Pond (and back around), whilst gushing on the beauty of everything the whole time.
We basically stayed one whole day in Kamikochi...
And ended the evening with piping hot udon (tenpura and fish broth!)
at Yoshimoto, Hirayu Onsen (en route on our bus journey back).
The perfect dinner to wrap up a gorgeous day.
6PM is basically pitch black in the Hida mountains in November, and we huddled back to our ryokan, Kazeya, from our 'Totoro' bus stop in the dark.
At this rate, I'd offer anyone company to visit Japan. Mata ne!
