【42 days hiking from Pacific Ocean to Japan Sea】
Northern Japanese Alps(28 Sep. to 13 Oct.)
I walked from one side of Japan to another along the ridge lines of Japanese Alps.
These are my journals of the tramping in Japanese wilderness.
I hope these journals help someone who is looking for places to hike.

The line shows the route I took in the Northern Alps area. This section is from Kamikochi to Oyashirazu at the coast of Japan Sea.
The autumn came to the Alps. The leaves were changing their colours into red and yellow.
The trail was full of beauty.
