Best viewed after seeing previous post about this Japanese alpine valley.

A Valley of contradictions.  It is “isolated, remote”.  You cannot self-drive into it.  For much of the year it is snowbound, closed.  However, each summer Kamikochi has hundreds of thousands of visitors; most are highly “packaged” daytrippers.

Kamikochi is a very beautiful valley in the “northern Alps” of the Japanese Alps.
