“ Great fun with family ” We had a great day out in the snow with snowshoeing. Good fun that needs a lot of energy. We would like to rate our guide Kouhei a 6-star out of 5 review as he did an outstanding job for organising our group of 7 with a joyful and good pace tour. Excellent English and easy communications. Highly recommended.

The guide is super nice and friendly and positive, smily, great and sweet!! The cycling course was perfect as we rode the bike in the middle of the beautiful rice fields and stopped by an incredibly beautiful lake. E-Bike was also super nice!!
