Kamikochi in the valley of 1500 m above the sea level in the southern part of the North Alps. It is a mountain resort that represents Japan, where you can enjoy autumnal leaves by walking on the promenade while private cars aren’t allowed to protect nature. From the Kappa bridge crossing the Azusa River of the light blue clear stream, you can enjoy the magnificent mountain landscape of Hotaka mountain range in the upper stream and Mt.Yakedake in the lower stream. In autumn, Kamikochi is covered with yellow leaves of larch, birch and　Ulmus davidiana, while the delicate　red color of Chosenia bracteosa along the Azusa River and the red color of Rengetsutsuji and Kohakuuchiwa kaede seen in the forest and wetlands give accents. There are also many evergreen coniferous trees of Abies homolepis, and the contrast between yellow leaves and red / green shines. The magnificent view of the mountains of the Northern Alps and the incredible beauty of the scenery by the waterside of the Azusa river, Taisho Pond and Myojin Pond bring out the golden colored autumn leaves.
