It was smalish group, but I could speak more people easily and had a good time! There are many solo. So, you don't neet to worry joining by yourself. Weather was beautiful, friendly trip leader, nice bunch of people, i had a goodtime! Oh yes, BBQ was good too. Yakisoba, fish, meat and vegetables! Mah-chan

I have join this trip myself, but there are bunch of solo, and no needed to worry about loneliness ^⁠_⁠^ You can do snorkeling, clift jnumping, go Onsen, beach volleyball! I loved the breakfast they have prepared on Sunday morning for us. Toast, eggs, sausages, fruits, juice, milk and more! I am thinking to join Niijima island trip as well! Mah-chan

Beautiful island trip with the best people! BBQ dinners were amazing, trip leaders were extremely kind and helpful. My tent was flooded on the first night and they very kindly lent me their extra rain-fly. Thanks team!

This trip was awesome! Our hotel was right in front of the lift and right next to some nice restaurants as well as a short walk to the gondola. I felt like there were courses for all levels and as a beginner, I loved the wide open course that there was in front of the hotel. I got to experience fresh powder both days and of course the festival!! We could watch the festival from warm in the hotel or outside. There was drumming, food, entertainment, and cool snow lamps. I can’t wait to go on this trip again. Highly recommend.

Kozushima was my first big trip by myself to an Island. I went by myself but always felt supported by staff and other members. I felt sick one night and staff and others helped me and I could recover and enjoy the rest of my trip. The boat was super nice with great facilities like restaurant, showers, sleeping area, and even a scavenger hunt. You could buy most food, snacks, and even alcohol on the boat as well. The island is beautiful and the campground had great facilities like washlet toilets, outlets for charging, and gorgeous ocean view in front of you! Akasaki promenade was great for snorkeling and the onsen near our campground was wonderful. There were shops in town you could go to as well to buy food and drinks. Tokyo Snow Club fed us well every night with multi course bbqs! Breakfast was also great fuel for the day. I’d really like to thank the staff for supporting me and working so hard during the trip. I can’t wait to go again!

For me climbing Fuji-san was an extraordinary experience and quite a challenge at the same time. The trail is rather steep and terrain difficult. However, I made it thanks to amazing young men that guided the tour. I am really grateful to Keiji without whose help I would not be able to reach the 9th station as my backpack at some point just became too heavy for me to carry. I am thankful to Yuki too who was encouraging me all the way down the mountain. I was the oldest person in the group, majority were young people full of energy and adrenalin. Age issue aside, the weather was perfect both days, the sky clear with a nice view of Fujinomiya during the night climb and we had an amazing sunrise at the summit. I would suggest everyone to pack the lightest possible clothes and minimum water and food. You can buy everything you need for two days on the mountain. Although pricy it is worth it. I highly recommend this tour with TSC!

I really liked the hike and everyone was really nice, one of the most fun trip I had in Japan so far! We were really lucky with the weather too. Everything went well for me during the trip, it was well organized and supervised. I would definitely rebook for a trip with Tokyo Snow Club when I'll come back to Japan in the future.

As a beginner taking the challenge to hike Mt Fuji wouldn’t have been so memorable and fun filled if not for the team! Our guide Yuki, KG, Steven and Robin and were very well prepared, fun loving bunch and most importantly took care of everyone’s needs and safety! I recommend this team for the hike always! Thank you TSC!!!
