Ep. 2 Backpacking in beautiful Japan! Northern Alps: Kamikochi to Karasawa Tent Site

Day two of my adventure through Japan's Northern Alps region in Chubusangaku National Park: After a night at the drum festival in Matsumoto, I headed from my hostel to the train station so that I could take a train to the bus into Kamikochi-- yes, it's a journey! From Kamikochi, I walked/hiked past two different tent campgrounds & lodge areas until I began the ascent up to Karasawa Hutte where I pitched my tent on that rocky terrain with insanely gorgeous views. Thanks for coming along for the ride! I appreciate yall so much. Some hopefully helpful links to help you along the way: Couch Potato Hostel (Matsumoto) https://couchpotatohostel.com/ Tokusawa-en https://thejapanalps.com/en/mountain-...
