    We were a mixed age group: 65, 40 & 6. Takasi was both lovely & excellent, especially with my 6 year old. There was a chance of the trip being cancelled as it was pouring it down! He was happy to take us & we made the best of it despite the weather! The forest is beautiful. We also went to the wind cave, which in the rain was very beautifully mysterious looking. Completely separate to this tour we did the Mount Fuji ropeway and boat ride which were very disappointing in comparison. I would definitely recommend booking this.

  • Amazing!

Amazing forest and cave.. definitely do this if you have the time!
