town in Kamikawa district, Hokkaido, Japan

About Kamikawa (Hokkaido)

Kamikawa is situated in a steep-sided valley carved through Taisetsu Highlands by the Ishikari River. The town fell into a steady decline after its heavy industries shuttered in the 1970s. However, Kamikawa is now enjoying a recovery thanks emerging small-scale industries and an influx of visitors to the neighbouringDaisetsuzan National Park. While not a major destination in itself, Kamikawa is a useful transit point and makes for a pleasant place to break up a journey and stock up on food or gas before heading toSounkyo Onsenor destinations further east.
