Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sawando?
The best area to stay in Sawando is near the Sawando Bus Terminal, which acts as the gateway to the Kamikochi area.

This compact area is the main hub for visitors, particularly for those planning to explore the stunning Japanese Alps. It's essentially a small cluster of hotels and inns located directly adjacent to or a short walk from the bus terminal. You'll find a few local eateries and convenience stores here, making it practical for last-minute supplies. The primary feature is its direct connection to the shuttle buses heading into Kamikochi, making early morning departures incredibly convenient.

Travellers focused on hiking and outdoor adventures will find this area exceptionally convenient. Staying here means you can easily catch the first buses to Kamikochi in the morning, giving you a head start on the trails and allowing you to maximise your time in the mountains. It removes the stress of long commutes before or after a demanding hike.

For those seeking a more traditional Japanese experience, some inns in the Sawando area offer onsen (hot spring) baths.
When is the best time to go to Sawando?
The best time to visit Sawando is during the late spring to early autumn months, specifically from May to October, when the weather is mild and the natural beauty of the Japanese Alps is at its peak.

For those planning to explore the hiking trails and scenic routes, May and June offer pleasant temperatures and lush greenery as the snow melts. It's an ideal time for outdoor activities, with mountain flowers beginning to bloom.

Couples often find September and October particularly appealing. The autumn foliage transforms the mountains into a stunning display of colours, creating a romantic backdrop for walks and drives. The cooler, crisp air is superb for enjoying the hot springs Sawando is known for, providing a relaxing end to a day of exploration.
