Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health

Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness

Please do not eat or drink coffee inside the vehicle to keep it clean for everyone. Bottled water and small pets in carriers are okay.

Lunch is not included. We strongly recommend buying a light meal such as onigiri before entering Kamikochi. While there are food shops near Kappa Bridge, they are often crowded with long lines—especially during peak hours. Bringing your own lunch allows you to enjoy it freely while surrounded by the peaceful beauty of nature.

This tour takes you straight into central Kamikochi in a fast, comfortable van—no lines, no transfers. Public buses are available but often involve long waits, and rental cars aren’t allowed. Large tour buses may be slower or stop farther from the main trails.
