Hi there,

I think I would base myself in Kamikochi and make day trips from there to the Alpine Route, Shirakawa-go and Kamikochi, mostly by bus.

Travel around the Japanese Alps is not that easy, however, as it involved different transport companies and often routes can take quite long because you are traveling through mountains.

I guess you could also stay the first night in Toyama or Tateyama, then travel over the Alpine route and stay in Matsumoto to visit both Shirakawa-go and Kamikochi.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
