Around the center of the north Alps and "Kappa-bashi" in Kamikochi.
The present bridge will be spanned Azusagawa (the catalpa side) with for the first time as a suspension bridge in 1910 (1910) in a mountain scenic area of an approximately 1500 m of altitude, and is Godai eye.

The superb view spot which represents the mountains of the 3000m order such as the Hotaka chain of mountains and Kamikochi where Yakedaje can be viewed in the lower class direction in the upper reaches from the bridge which spans a clear stream.
The view from the top of the bridge is overwhelmed by wonderful of the great outdoors in the center of Kamikochi where I bustle with many tourists through a season.

Whenever it's visited, you can meet a superb view in each season, but a contrast with the Hotaka chain of mountains where white snow is left and tender greenery is also beautiful and uncrowded time from the end of May to June.
When it clears up and makes though precipitation is the weather in a variable mountain relatively little, the impressive view as well as the scenery which suits clear water spread.

When he'd like to have time quietly, a person recommends a little early morning.
It's possible to take a picture of Azusagawa, Myoujindake and Kappa-bashi learned about as the typical landscape of Kamikochi at the same time from a riverside around the bus terminal in the Azusagawa left bank.
It's until the middle of November to put it in Kamikochi from the end of April. A reach is regulated by a private car.

Higashi gets a bird's-eye view of the city on the day which cleared up, and can look the mountains of the north Alps around to Utsukushigahara Yarigatake and Norikuradake in west.

"Shiroyama park" but when a cherry tree blooms for prospering most.
A cherry tree in the park blooms simultaneously so that fresh and green Shiba may surround a beautiful square at the middle of April every year. Once's cityscape is purchased in a year including a tunnel in Sakuranamiki, and it's the famous place many people visit.

The state which changes from landscape at evening before sunset to the scenery of night is also special. The night view of the mountain ridge of the mountains and the town which flashes is also a superb view point. Cylindrical observatory is a spiral staircase, so I'd hope that you bring a flashlight just in case.
