@japanwanderee: This valley is already freezing, and in a month you will not be able to get in at all. 🍂🏔️🇯🇵 Kamikochi sits at 1,500 metres in the Northern Alps. Mornings are down to 4°C and the fallen leaves come up rimmed with frost. The broadleaves — katsura, birch, dakekanba — hit full colour this weekend, and the larch turns gold right after, around the 20th. Then the whole valley shuts for winter. 📍 Kamikochi, Nagano 🗓️ Broadleaves at peak right now, larch around Oct 20, closed from mid-November 💡 Taisho Pond is dead flat and mirror-calm at first light, before any wind. That window is short 🔖 SAVE this before the valley closes. 🚀 SHARE it with whoever you’d get up at 5am for. #JapanTravel #Kamikochi #Nagano #JapanAlps #AutumnInJapan #VisitJapan #JapanTrip #Koyo #HiddenJapan #JapanAutumn2026
