Japan Travel: Weston Monument father of mount climbing, Nagano05 Moochan
A small monument to the honor of Walter Weston (1861-1940), the English missionary, who introduced recreational Western style mountain climbing to Kamikochi and Japan and popularized the term Japanese Alps.
Kamikochi (上高地, Kamikōchi) is a popular resort in the Northern Japan Alps of Nagano Prefecture, offering some of Japan's most magnificent mountain scenery. It is open from mid to late April until November 15 and shuts down in winter. In 2014, Kamikochi is open from April 18 to November 15.
Kamikochi is a about 15 kilometer long plateau in the Azusa River Valley, about 1500 meters above sea level. It is surrounded by tall mountains.
Part of the Chubu Sangaku National Park, Kamikochi has only been moderately developed with six hotels, several souvenir shops, mountain huts and hiking trails. Private cars are not allowed to enter Kamikochi, and access is only possible by bus or taxi. In the center of Kamikochi, a short walk from the bus terminal, stands the Kappabashi (Kappa Bridge). From the Kappabashi, hiking trails lead up and down the valley and towards the summits of the surrounding mountains.
The simplest way to enjoy a day in Kamikochi is by hiking the trails along Azusa River from Taisho Pond to Myojin Bridge. It is a mostly flat area and no hiking experience is needed and it takes only a few hours of time. However, the climbs to the surrounding peaks, are more challenging and only recommended between mid June and mid September.
