  1. Your biryani looks absolutely delish Tomoko san.
    The majestic snow capped mountains and the clear gurgling stream, it's a blessing to be in the lap of nature and experience these stunning vistas❤

  2. Hello! I found your video when looking for a way to go to kamikochi. I'm planning to go by car. People in Google said that you still need a bus to go inside the kamikochi, is this true? If yes, do you know if we need to book the bus in advance or we can buy the ticket on the spot?
    I'm going from Tokyo, how much will the highway toll cost?

    Thank you in advance 🙂
    Thank
