Kamikochi clothing and belongings

Kamikochi is located at an altitude of 1,500 meters, so the temperature can be 5 to 10 degrees lower than in Matsumoto city at the base (altitude about 600 meters).
In early spring and early autumn in particular, minimum temperatures can drop below freezing, and snowfall can occur up until around Golden Week and from around mid-Oct. onwards, so you will need to prepare for the cold.
Even in summer, the minimum temperature can drop below 10 degrees, so be sure to bring an extra layer of clothing.
Also, because it is a mountainous region, the weather can change quickly, so we recommend that you bring rain gear when exploring.

Early spring/late autumn (April to mid-May /October to Nov.)

It may snow during this time of year. Please wear winter clothes for flat land. We recommend wearing a windproof jacket over a fleece or down jacket.
