Departing from Gaoshan City on November 19, 2024, it is very worth it! The cable car is divided into two sections. We took the first cable car up the mountain. When we arrived at the first platform, we saw the autumn scenery. When we arrived at the second platform, we saw the forest that had not yet melted and the beautiful scenery. It’s a pity that Kamikochi 11 Middle School is closed, otherwise I would definitely go together.

Conveniently, just show the QR code to the staff at the Takayama Ryuhi Bus Center to exchange for a physical ticket. The two-day ticket already includes the Shin-Hotaka Ropeway ticket.

Thank you tour guide Xiao Guo for introducing and recommending attractions and restaurants! After arriving there is less time in the trip, some restaurants have to queue, if you do not wash the queue, enough to walk each attraction. In the afternoon, we went to Gassho Village first. The pudding was sold out. I didn't have a chance to eat it yet. I took some pictures to buy souvenirs. The cheese tart recommended by Ko Kwok is delicious, highly recommended, available at the Shirakawa-go observation deck!

It is very convenient to go from Takayama to Kamikochi and Shin-Hotaka! There are many people queuing up to take the bus, but the bus has extra flights, so you don’t have to wait for a long time. They are great attractions, especially Kamikochi is beautiful, but you have to pay special attention to Shin-Hotaka. If the weather is bad, you may not be able to see anything.
