Hi. Kamikochi will be shutting down around that time, have you looked to see if it is still open? We were there at the end of October last year, by then the leaves are brown and you might get a little snow in flurries, or sleet. It was very icy.

We have been a few times and stay at the Onsen Hotel. It is awesome, with a great rotenburo - just what you need on those cold nights. The monkeys come up to the hotel sometimes in the mornings. They are not tame, but have lost their fear of humans. Kamikochi is nicest in the early morning, before the buses arrive.

I would go from there to Takayama. You are probably going to catch full autumn colours at that time, it is spectacular at Takayama especially at the park and the squirrel forest. We stay at Hotel Associa which is nice and great value, but a little way out of town. Great onsens there too, overlooking the town.

From Takayama I would stop off at Shirakawago for a few hours and then go on to Kanazawa. You can get back to Tokyo from Kanazawa.

I'm jealous!

Definitely not Toyama, which is not an interesting city. Takayama and Kanazawa have both their interesting points. The proposal by the PP sounds good to me if you want a relatively quick trip. Or you could skip Takayama/Kanazawa/Toyama and go from Kamikochi to Matsumoto, then Nagano and back to Tokyo. Although I personally would just go for 2 days to Okuhida and soak in an onsen.

Enjoy your trip to Japan!
