Koshinetsu is the roof of Japan: the Northern, Central and Southern Alps, Matsumoto’s castle, Nagano’s temples, and the fruit and wine country of Yamanashi.
It is mountain country, which means the seasons matter more here than on the coast, and the roads close in winter at altitude.
What Koshinetsu is good for
Matsumoto Castle, Kamikochi and the Alps trailheads, the Jigokudani snow monkeys, and the Kiso valley’s post towns on the old Nakasendo road.
Frequently asked questions
When is Kamikochi open?
Mid-April to mid-November. Outside that the valley is closed by snow, which is why our Tateyama and Alps itineraries are seasonal.
Every route is built from scratch around your dates and your group — no fixed departure, no group to join. Send us your dates on WhatsApp and we will draft an itinerary, free of charge.

What this collection covers
Koshinetsu is the roof of Japan: the Northern, Central and Southern Alps, Matsumoto’s castle, Nagano’s temples, and the fruit and wine country of Yamanashi. This collection is for travel in that mountain destination, where the seasons matter more than on the coast and where roads close in winter at altitude. It covers the places that shape a Koshinetsu trip: Matsumoto Castle, Kamikochi and the Alps trailheads, the Jigokudani snow monkeys, and the Kiso valley’s post towns on the old Nakasendo road. Because this is mountain country, timing is central. Kamikochi is open from mid-April to mid-November; outside that period the valley is closed by snow. That seasonal pattern is also why the Tateyama and Alps itineraries are seasonal. Routes here are built from scratch around your dates and your group, with no fixed departure and no group to join. The result is a collection for travellers who want to understand Koshinetsu through its mountains, castles, temples, fruit and wine country, and historic road, with the limits and rhythms of the mountains taken into account.
Tell us your dates and who is travelling, and we will design an itinerary free of charge, with no obligation. WhatsApp +852 6888 4736 or email info@blisstravel.life.
