Has anyone completed the Panorama Ginza Trail in late October? My itinerary and questions are below. Thank you!
1.How bad is the snow likely to be 16th Oct – 18 Oct 2025?
-
How technical is the route? Will I need helmet/ice pick it just crampons?
-
Any information/tips appreciated!
Day 1: Travel to Kamikochi from Osaka
Day 2: Hike Kamikochi to Chogotake Hut (13k, 1200m elevation gain, 50m elevation loss, 6-8hrs)
Day 3: Chogotake Hut to Daitenso Hut (11km, 1100m gain, 900m loss, 8-9hrs)
Day 4: Daitenso Hut – Nakabusa Onsen (11km, 350m gain, 1110 loss, 6-8hrs)
For context, I'm an experienced multi-day hut to hut hiker (completed AV1, TMB and Haute Route) and I've booked the below huts with a friend. We're English with very limited Japanese language skill.
