*You can get off the bus either at Taisho-ike Pond bus stop or at Kamikochi Bus terminal. You may not be able to get off at Taisho-ike Pond bus stop depending on road conditions.

*In early spring in Kamikochi, the temperature usually rises up to around 4 to 11 degree Celsius at noon. Wearing long-sleeved and thin shirts or sweater is recommended. Wearing short pants is not recommended at all.

*In case the road to Kamikochi is closed, you will visit Takayama instead, and the returning time will be 4 hours earlier than the scheduled time.
