Taisyoike Hotel, Kamikochi

地點很好，方便，酒店的窗外風景很美，很舒服，早餐及晚餐相當豐富美味

Convenient place today, the bus station just in front of the hotel. The staffs are quite helpful and try to accommodate as much to our requests. Good tracking path to Kamikochi

地點絕佳，就在公車站對面。寄放行李後輕鬆踏上往上高地的道路，一路上美景相伴，甚是愜意！ 因飯店後面就是大正池，早晨欣賞大正池晨霧超級方便，晚上則有滿天星斗！ 員工親切，餐點還不錯！床鋪稍舊，也可惜沒能住到池景房！浴場水溫不夠高，棉花棒、保養品⋯⋯若能提供就更棒了！

Good service and very delicious meals, especially dinner

It all depends what you pay. The location of the hotel is good within the park, though it is a ways away from the bridge and Kamikochi bus terminal. The hotel is basic. You feel like you're somewhere in Alaska so it's ok that everything is concrete except you are an hour from Matsumoto. The mattresses are hard and you could use the pillows to defend yourself against any bears or intruders. If you stay during peak season you'll pay over $250 per night for the privilege. It's worth 50.

We stayed here as we wanted to spend two days to hike the different trails. We bought the Alps Crossing Pass at 5000 yen since we entered Kamikochi from Matsumoto and left via Takayama. Coming by train from Nagano, we could hop on to the Kamikochi Line at Platform 7 without exiting to buy the tickets. We bought this Pass at Shin-shimashima station. There were two buses to accommodate all of us at Shin-shimashima station to Kamikochi. On arrival, we hiked a circular route from bus terminal to Myojin pond and then back to bus terminal by another enjoyable route. By staying at this hotel, we could hike from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge the next morning. Two outstanding features stood out during our stay here. 1) During breakfast, we could sit next to the window and look out to the greenish-blue Taisho Pond in front of the mountain ranges. We also access the pond during sunrise without the crowds. The walk from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge is also very scenic. 2) The dinner was a pleasant surprise with so much to eat. The food was tasty and not overly salty. I had four different kinds of fish as I did not eat beef. Breakfast was equally good. We did walk out at night to view the stars in the sky. Highly recommend a stay in Kamikochi to do more trails.
