Which one is better, Kurobe or Kamikochi?

Tateyama Kurobe, known as the "Japanese Alps" and "Japan's last secret place", is located in Central Japan has been regarded as Japan's sacred mountain since ancient times. It is listed as Japan's three sacred mountains together with Mount Fuji and Hakusan. Except for the half-year closure of the mountain due to heavy snow every year, the rest of the year is full of seasonal wonders: the majestic huge mountain snow wall in spring, the mountainous mountains in summer, and the maple leaves on the mountain in autumn complementing the first snow on the peak.

Kamikochi is located in the upper reaches of the Azusagawa River in western Nagano Prefecture. This area is surrounded by primeval forests such as white birch and larch. Taisho Pond, Tashiro Pond, Myojin Pond, etc. are distributed among them, and are surrounded by towering mountains. The majestic postures together form a very beautiful scenery. Taisho Pond was formed in the early 20th century due to the eruption of Mount Yake and the blockage of Azusa River. The dead trees standing out on the blue water form a unique scenery with the surroundings. There are particularly many tourists visiting in June, when the white birch buds are beginning to sprout, and in October, when the red leaves are at their peak.

Kurobe is not the mountains and rivers you imagine, but a canyon. The so-called mountains and rivers are Tateyama, and Tateyama Kurobe is actually the sum of the two.
