Route map from Mt. Yarigatake to Kamikochi

Hello Gary, I plan to hike Mt. Oku-hotaka-dake & Mt. Yarigatake in August this year. Maybe I go alone. Can you give some advice what I should prepare for my trip?

I'll go to Kamikochi by bus from Shinjuku Station. And can you explain to me the route to go back to Kamikochi from Mt. Yarigatake? I still can't get that after reading your article.

Thanks for your convenience. Surely I need some advice from you. :)

And sorry if my English is so bad and difficult to understand.
It's nice to get a reply from you soon.

Regards,
Riezha
