Hello, thank you for sharing your experience! So pretty! I am trying to plan similar route for my upcoming trip too. However, there seem to have no option for over night bus from Takayama back to Osaka. May I check what time was your bus from Takayama back to Osaka since you took it after dinner and the background was night time already?
Hi there, great video! wanted to ask if are there any food options near the ryokan you stayed (TSUYUKUSA)? I saw that they don't provide dinner/breakfast
Thank you! There are several restaurants there. You can check out in google maps before deciding to stay there. Even though they don’t actually provide dinner/breakfast, they do have some bread and coffee/tea for free in the tea room on the 1st floor.
Hi just wondering if this is a loop around hiking trail that you did. Seems pretty ok for toddlers to travel too.. we are thinking of going there with kids.
Yes, there’s a loop. The path is like in the video, so I believe kids will have no trouble. But please check the weather before going. It’s much colder there.
Thank you for watching! Hmm, I think probably not, but that depends on where you will visit. In Tokyo, for example, it wouldn’t be until late December that you might get lucky to see some snow fall.
Hello, we really liked your trip, so we are planning to do the same route on November (: I found that we need to book the bus from TAKAYAMA to SHIRAKAWA-GO and from SHIRAKAWA-GO to KANAZAWA/TOYAMA (we are going to north after) But I could not find information about the bus between: -Kamikochi and Hirayu Onsen -Hirayu Onsen and Takayama Do we need to book these buses too? Or just ride it based on google maps schedule and pay the fee right before riding the bus? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for watching! For those 2 trips, you can just buy it before boarding the bus. But you can check the time schedules before hand, to schedule your trip. This links is for Hirayu onsen to Takayama (www.nouhibus.co.jp/route_bus/kamikochi-line-en/#timetable). For Kamikochi to hirayu onsen, I don’t remember where I found the bus schedule, but from what I noted in my itinerary, the first bus departs at 7am and last bus at 5:30pm (runs every 30minutes). Hope it helps!
Hi! It’s more like shared bathrooms. They have a total of 3 bathrooms. Each has its own onsen: two indoors and one outdoor (upstairs, which is the room shown in the video). No need to book since it’s a shared bathroom, but depending on how many people are staying in the ryokan, you have to wait for the person who was using it to finish in order to use it. Also, the ryokan is not exactly in Kamikochi, but a small onsen town nearby.
Hi! Thanks for the upload. This was really helpful. If you don't mind, can you please share what time did you start touring around Kamikochi? Did you need to wait for sunlight or is there an official start time? Also, per google, early November is already past the autumn foliage peak. Would you say that the trip is still worth it? We're planning to do it in November 1, 2023. Thank you so much!
We started walking around 6am (as soon as there was sunlight), took some photos and went for breakfast. No official time, so you can start whatever time you want. As for the date, we went on November 5th, it was indeed a bit late for the red leaves (this year) but I was also waiting for the snow to cover up the top part of the mountain. So, for me, it was worth it; to have Kamikochi cover with some snow and still have some red leaves, that was I was hoping to see. But that will also depends on your preference.
Hi, I love your video! I'm planning to go to Shirakawago next year, and I'm wondering are there any schedules for the bus that you took to go further uphill in Shirakawago? and also do we need to purchase the ticket for the bus? Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching! I’m not sure if the schedule has changed or not. It runs back and forth every 20 minutes from 10:00 to 14:40 every day. Departure: 00; 20 ; 40. Return: 10; 30; 50 on the clock. The fare is 200 yen one way, pay in the bus (cash only). You can also check these websites, www.vill.shirakawa.lg.jp/en/ Or shirakawa-go.gr.jp/en/
It was November 4th-6th. It might be a bit late to see the red leaves during your visit. However, please know that Kamikochi will be closed from mid November to mid April.
Hi, I love your video :) anyway I plan to go to japan november 16th but I read on google Kamikochi closed on November 15th, is it true that it closed on certain period?
Thank you for watching! There’s a bus from Kamikochi to hirayu-onsen then connect to another one to Takayama then another to Shirakawa-go. It would take around 3 hours. I would recommend you to check out all bus schedules (especially the one between Takayama to Shirakawa-go) and plan ahead especially if you plan to go both places in one day. But I would recommend you to go one place per day for a more relaxing experience in both places.
It was November 4th-6th. Pretty short trip, only for the weekends. I didn’t use any pass. I just bought the regular price tickets, since the pass was not suitable for the trip we have planned. But if you’re here for longer, maybe the passes would be more suitable.
@@storyofV.Vhi we plan to arrive with our big luggage in the morning- wondering if this place is accessible by foot from the bus station? Or how did u get here from public transport
@@anhanht3736 it’s about 5 minutes walk from the bus station, so you should be fine. But please note that you would have to carry your luggages up to your room.
I believe there’s a fee to camp at Kamikochi. I am not sure about more details. As for Shirakawa-go, camping is not allowed within the world heritage village.
did you purchased all the bus tickets online? can you share the website to purchase those tickets? 1. night bus to kamikochi 2. bus to takayama station 3. bus to shirakawago your vid makes me wanna be there this Nov, thank you in advance! x
Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I was a bit busy these days. I only bought 2 tickets online in advance: 1. the night bus to Kamikochi (link: www.alpico.co.jp/en/timetable/kamikochi/?.org&) 2. the bus from Takayama back to Osaka (Links willerexpress.com/en/bus_search/gifu/takayama/osaka/all/). As for other bus you can buy there, no need to worry. But you can book a one day tour to shirakawago from Takayama or you can go individually. Moreover, depending on where you are planning to stay. You can also go from Kamikochi straight to Takayama. As Kamikochi has a closing period you should check first before going, also to check the weather conditions, leaves 🍁 status, and accommodations at Kamikochi; you can check for more details from their official website www.kamikochi.org For Shirakawago, shirakawa-go.gr.jp/en/ and www.vill.shirakawa.lg.jp/en/ Hope this helps! And If you do decide to go, hope you have a very nice experience! Also thank you for watching my video! 🥰
Of course! You can check for accommodations in Kamikochi directly on their official website www.kamikochi.org/plan/accommodation. Or if you plan to go the place in this video you can book via booking.com. The place is called “旅荘 つゆくさ TSUYUKUSA”.
