- What an incredible sunrise! Mount Cho delivers again :)
In this episode, I head from camping on Mount Chogatake at the Chōgatake Hütte down into Kamikochi via Tokusawa-en. My Zpacks triplex tent stayed up great all night, but there was a lot of condensation in the morning after the temp dropped just before sunrise. I let it dry for a bit and got a later start hiking since I wasn't in a rush. Worth it to dry out!
The hike down started on the ridge, quickly went down into such a pretty forest (with LOTS of mud and bog like areas). Then, it become lots of steep steps down onto roots and rotted out wooden ladders. I didn't love the last mile down to Tokusawa, but I loved the forest right down from Mount Chogatake.
I met an awesome Japanese woman who named herself my "mountain momma"; she was with me to see the Okojo and Glory in the last episode. We had another great chat for breakfast, and I will always remember her! Shout out to my Mountain Momma!
The views along the way down of the Hotaka Mountain Range are insanely beautiful once again. Happy happy!
Thank you so much for coming along and subscribing! I'll see y'all in the next episode :)

The mountains are also pleased that you have visited. Please enjoy the four seasons of Japan.
I cannot wait for winter ❄️
@@tinwenwalks Many hikers say that the winter mountains in Japan are very beautiful. I'm sure I'll meet you there. Until then, stay healthy!

Wow, a sunrise in the land of the rising sun! And in the Alps no less! Kakkoii-Desu
Right on 🥰🙌
The first pond you saw coming down from Chogatake has baby Japanese salamanders in it. Next time look in there 👀
For those viewers who are planning to do camping at Chogatake, or any mountain in Japanese Alps, note it can be extremely crowded in weekends/holidays.
So avoid weekends/holidays, but if you can’t, try to get there before noon and you’ll have a better chance of getting a good site. And bring a shelter with small footprint and be prepared not to get annoyed when someone put a shelter very close to yours. It’s just how it is.
I love salamanders!!!! I even went to a Salamander Cafe in Okunikko recently that was amazing 🤩
Great advice for all, thank you!
awesome video my friend
Thank you, friend 🤗
遠くに槍ヶ岳が見えましたね。日本アルプスを訪れる海外TH-camrの動画はよく見かけますが、テント泊は珍しいですね。思う存分、自然を満喫している様子がよく伝わります。
信じられないかもしれませんが、私が小学生の頃 訪れた大正池は、ずっと向こうの山裾まで広がっていて、池にはたくさんの枯れ木の姿を見る事が出来ました。道路の状況も悪く、大雨が降ると、しばしば道路が封鎖される事もありました。北アルプスは、大好きな場所です。配信、ありがとうございます😊
Yes, I love seeing Mt. Yari from Mt. Cho! So cool. I really enjoy staying in my tent and feeling the wind, looking out to see the stars and clouds. The Northern Alps of Japan are a magical place. Thank you for sharing with me ☺️
天気が良くて良かったですね。👍
Me too! I was blessed with clear skies after two days of rain 🙏
Simply amazing scenery and atmosphere my friend. Gorgeous episode!
Thanks, friend!!! Appreciate it ✌️
なつかしい景色をありがとう！
白馬エリアも素晴らしいです。
11年前に妻と白馬三山を巡りました。
最高の思い出のひとつです。
Thank you for watching!! I am so excited to share my adventures from Hakuba. I fell in love with that area of Japan 😍

Hahah! The YT algorithm has been kind 😄
The thing that you got from your mama is not supposed to pour down into the water. You put in your mouth directly and drink some water.
Hahaha from my “mountain momma”, that is good to know! Thank you 👍
