【絶景】上高地 河童橋-Kamikochi:Kappa Bridge
河童橋の名前の由来は文字通り河童が住んでいそうだからというものと橋ができる前に頭にものを乗せながら川を渡る姿が河童に似ていたからというものがあるそうです。芥川龍之介の小説『河童』の中で、上高地と河童橋が登場したことで一躍有名になったとのことです。
Kappa Bridge is a suspension bridge over the Azusa River in the center of Kamikochi, not far from the bus terminal. Several hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops can be found around the bridge.
The structure of the bridge is wooden and it has become a distinctive symbol of Kamikochi. It inspired the 1927 novel, “Kappa,” by Ryunosuke Akutagawa, in which the narrator and protagonist journeys to Kamikochi only to stray into the mysterious land of the kappa, a quirky race of water spirits from Japanese folklore.
Kappa Bridge is especially popular as a photo spot with a terrific view of the Hotaka Peaks and Mt. Myojindake that can been seen when facing upriver. Looking downriver, one has a good view of Mt. Yakedake, the iconic peak at the entryway to Kamikochi whose smoking crater reminds us that it is a very active volcano. The area around the bridge is home to Kesho Yanagi (a local species of willow) and Japanese larch trees.

Adeyto ????????️ Azusa River KAPPABASHI KAMIKOCHI Hotaka Mountain SHINSHU Apple NAGANO Japan Alps
Turquoise River Azusa crystal clear, the Hotaka Mountain Range and Kappabashi wooden bridge are the iconic image of Kamikochi so finally in this video we get to see these in different lights, early morning with ice crystals on the surrounding plant life, sparkling in the warm sun and blue sky and then again in copper tones and scattered clouds. We get to meet a cute ???? birdie doing a crazy boat race on a pond chasing fishes probably, and get to try the famous Nagano Apples baked in Shinshu style that is best at preserving the natural flavor. Kamikochi and all the Swiss style hotels are now already closed down as I'm winter the snow there is huge and all roads closed down too. But in spring they will reopen and come back to life and hopefully we can go again to this hidden gem of the Japan Alps! Easy to get here from Tokyo by Highway Bus, with the Alpico Line for around $65 one way. All hotels are quite expensive starting at more than $200 per person but there are fancy & clean dormitory private beds for around $110 including dinner and breakfast! Also a large camp site and many more options when in season! I can't wait to meet again the kind-hearted staff of my Alpen Hotel who made my stay so memorable!!!

Kappabashi-Dori - Tokyo - かっぱ橋道具街 - 4K Ultra HD
Have you ever wonder where most Japanese restaurants in Tokyo are purchasing those mouth-watering, but fake, sushi and ramen? Well stop wondering since they must have been probably been purchased in one of the many specialized stores in Kappabashi-Dori!
Located between Ueno and Asakusa, Kappabashi-Dori is almost entirely populated with shops specialized in supplying goods and other kitchenwares to Tokyo, and indeed Japan’s, restaurants and cafes.
These stores sells pretty much everything form the fake plastic display food to knives and even ovens and furniture.
To be fair, Kappabashi is not the most exciting tourist destination you may find in Tokyo. Nevertheless it is a place worth checking if you have an hour or two to spare, especially if you’ve ever dreamed of having your very own fake food sample.
Finally while it is still unclear from where this street gets its name, it’s similarity with the Japanese mythical creature “Kappa” or River child (河童) has made it the favorite choice of the shop owners for many years, and a few years back it became the official mascot of the area.
Français ????????
Lorsque vous vous promenez dans les rues japonaises pour la toute première fois, quelque chose de jamais vu ailleurs vous surprendra dans les minutes qui viennent : les vitrines de restaurants. Des faux plats plus que réalistes sont présentés en vitrine ou à l’entrée des restaurants pour accompagner le menu et ainsi se faire une idée directe du contenu de l’assiette (et surtout de la contenance, pour les gourmands comme nous ! ).
Ici, à Kappabashi-Dori, un bon nombre de magasins sont spécialisés dans la vente de ces faux ramens et faux sushis qui savent si bien nous faire saliver. Nous y trouverons également des couteaux et autres ustensiles de cuisine.
Franchement, Kappabashi n’est pas la destination la plus crépitante à Tokyo. Néanmoins, ce quartier vaut le détour si vous avez une heure ou deux à dépenser, et si vous tenez absolument à rentrer avec votre propre exemplaire de nourriture en plastique.
De nos jours, l’origine exacte du nom emprunté pour ce quartier reste un peu trouble, mais l’hypothèse de la forte similitude avec la créature japonaise mythique Kappa (ou River Child 河童) fut retenue pendant plusieurs années. Cette créature est d’ailleurs devenue la mascotte officielle de ces lieux très récemment.
