Hiking Information

[Please take full responsibility for your own health and act responsibly]
Unlike regular sightseeing trips, this tour involves exercise. Please maintain your physical strength by incorporating walking into your daily routine. Be sure to check your physical condition for the day before walking.

[Take your trash home with you]
Awareness of nature conservation is on the rise these days. When in the mountains or in nature, be sure to take your trash with you, and when smoking, be considerate of nature and those around you.

*This tour is not a "tourist spot" but "in the mountains." Please refer to the [Equipment Information] and be sure to dress and prepare properly before participating. To ensure the safety of our guests and the safety of the tour as a whole, we may refuse participation on the day of the tour if your clothing and equipment are insufficient. Thank you for your understanding.

[Equipment information]
Backpack
Keeping both hands free and not carrying a handbag is the basis of safe hiking. You can also use a waist bag if you like. When packing, put heavy items at the top and keep the center of gravity as high as possible to make it feel lighter.
●Clothing
Layering your upper body is essential to regulate your body temperature. Long-sleeved shirts are also recommended to prevent injury and sunburn. Don't forget to bring a fleece to keep warm. Pants should be stretchy. Jeans are not suitable as they do not stretch or dry easily. Gloves or work gloves are also a good idea to keep warm and protect your hands.
●Hat
It is necessary to protect you from strong sunlight, rain, and overhead obstacles.
Shoes
The key is to choose a size slightly larger than usual and wear thick socks. Shoes that are too big or too small can hurt your feet and nails and lead to fatigue. Ankle-covering shoes allow you to walk easily, but can be tiring if you are carrying heavy luggage or taking a long trip, putting a lot of strain on your legs and hips. On the other hand, ankle-covering shoes are stable and prevent sprains, making them safer. Always wear shoes that you are comfortable wearing.
●Rainwear
"Always carry a raincoat even if the weather forecast is sunny" - this is the basic rule. A separate top and bottom type is ideal. Gore-Tex products (which are highly waterproof and release sweat and moisture) are comfortable. Poncho-type raincoats are useless in strong winds and rain. Umbrellas obstruct your view and are dangerous as they block one hand. They also make it difficult to move forward on narrow mountain trails and can get in the way of other climbers, so please refrain from using them while walking. Make sure to bring a backpack cover that fits the size of your backpack.
●Drinking water
Staying hydrated is essential, so prepare at least 1 liter of water.


Please observe the following when participating:

・Please make your reservation using your correct name and email address.
・Please be sure to arrive on time during the tour. If you arrive late, the tour will depart.
