Taisho Lake in Kamikochi, Japan

Kamikochi may be a valley in a farther portion of Japan's Northern Alps, and its mountain view is so fabulous that the region is known to a few as the 'Japanese Yosemite Valley'. Our picture highlights the emerald waters and lavish woodlands of Taisho Lake. Mountains rise behind the lake, and they're moderately moo in height compared to some here that encompass Kamikochi: crests within the Hida extend beat 3,000 metres/10,000 feet tall. The valley highlights a number of lakes and lakes in expansion to Taisho, additionally wetlands and bogs that bolster a different run of plants and creatures.

This biologically wealthy environment sits inside the borders of Chūbu-Sangaku National Stop, a endless nature reserve covering parts of four prefectures and ensuring a few of the foremost perfect snow capped wild within the nation.
