Norikurakogen, Snow Wall & Kamikochi


 
We set out on our coach to Narikurakogen, above is one of the views on the way up to the top.  Once we reached the plateau we did have to walk up abit, here we go!   It was beautiful at the Snow Wall, cool but not cold, lovely spring weather.  The Wall is melting, best time of year to see it is between April-June.
 
We stopped in Kamikochi on the way back, gorgeous Alpine area, mountains, snow, incredible scenery.  We had a fabulous lunch of fried chicken, rice, salad, it was great!  We made a quick stop at the Museum in Matsumoto and had a look at all the polka dots.  These are representative of Yayoi Kusama's work, she is a painter and writer that was born in Matsumoto.  After another lovely dinner, we called it a night and prepare to head out to Kiso Valley and Hakuba tomorrow!!
