I had the privilege to spend a lovely day in the Mountains. I felt very comfortable being accomoanied by the tour Guide Hemi who was taking care of me from the beginning until the end. Starting to stop at an inconvinient Store picking up sth. for lunch and especially when we were heading to the top of the Mountains asking me if I feel still comfortable concerning my physical Constitution (3000 mt.) . The hking Tour starts smooth and rises up to a Level which is good to manage if you are from Time to time in the Mountains or on a Trail. The views are so georgeous and so different - we had the luck having blue sky combined with Clouds which offers us different Kind of Impressions. We managed to hike to the top of three Mountains with up to 100 altitude. I would highly recommend this tour to everybody who wants to spend a relaxing time in Japanese Mountains to get to know the great nature while everything is organized perfectly.
