Japanese Alps Travel Guides

Thatched-roof villages, onsen towns, and mountains above them

The Japanese Alps are where Japan slows down — old post towns, thatched farmhouses, and hot springs at the end of long valley train rides. These guides cover Takayama’s preserved old streets, the historic village of Shirakawago, walking in Kamikochi, and how to link the onsen towns into a route that works with a rail pass.
