Highly recommended! Our guide, Daff, is very friendly and has great knowledge of the area. It was great to find some good spots that otherwise you'll miss if not for insider information. Thanks Daff!! Other people in group were also friendly and kind. We came at the right time to catch Autumn foliage in their glory. Mt. Mitake in Autumn foliage is absolutely gorgeous!

It was a good hiking experience. Although the group was big, our guides were attentive enough and wait for everyone in most corners. The course s said to be beginner level and we all enjoyed it.

The guide Kenji introduced so many cultures concepts related to shrine in Japan, outdoor activity options around Okadama area, and even led us to a sake brewery, fulfilling trip
