Current Kamikochi Conditions (Myojin Area) as of April 14
Snow removal has progressed along the Azusa River’s left bank trail, making it passable on foot. However, due to the blizzard on April 15–16, a significant amount of snow has accumulated again on the cleared trails.
A check this morning confirmed that paths are frozen, so it’s best to wait until the temperature rises and the snow starts to melt before you head out for a walk.
