Introduction of reviews and word-of-mouth experiences

Best!
The moss-covered Sasahara forest and the view from the observatory are the best! The commentary of the commentator, how to walk, very kind and polite, I'm glad I came to climb Chuzenji Konan and Hangetsuyama for the first time. Also, I wanted to try climbing in a different season. Thank you very much.
5.0 ★★★★★ Experience date August 2020

It was the best!
I was able to enjoy the Akaiwa Falls tour more than I imagined with the guide of the nature commentator. Deeper into the forest, monopolizing the forest without meeting people, the beautiful yellow leaves of the Japanese larch and Mongolian oak, hearing the voice of a deer for the first time made me feel like I was being watched by a deer, and with the support of the guide. Cross the stream in peace, I was impressed by the Akaiwa Falls in front of me. I was drawn in by the guide's explanation of nature and was able to enjoy walking. I am looking forward to other tours as well! !
5.0 ★★★★★ Experience date November 2021

Your interest in Oku-Nikko will deepen further.
I participated in a bird watching tour for the first time. Bird watching at Senjogahara while looking at the majestic Mount Nantai! Not only can you see various wild birds, but the explanations about nature and wildlife from the guides are very easy to understand, and your interest in Oku-Nikko has grown even stronger. thought.
