Hi,

Earlier this week I asked about transportation to Kamikochi. You told me that we could take a bus to kamikochi and you gave me the correct website. Thank you for that.
However I still don't understand how we can travel from the kamikochi bus terminal to our hotel/roykan.
All the roykan/hotel that are still available aren't near to the bus terminal or in kamikochi self. They all lie in the neighborhood of the abo-toge road.
But I don't know how we could get there with public transport?
Can we take a train or is there a bus that we can take from Takayama or Matsumoto to get nearby the hotels?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Hylke

Hi,

You seem to have a number of misconceptions here. Kamikochi is not a town or city - it's a semi-developed rural area where people go hiking and camping. Aside from the hotels near the bus terminal, there are only hiking trails to other places to stay - campgrounds, mountain huts and lodges. This site has more info for you.

Good luck.
