This is a special short tour for small groups, limited to a maximum of 5 people, and only available in the afternoons during certain periods! Since the number of participants is small, the guide can keep a close eye on everyone, so this plan is recommended for those who are trying mountain biking in the mountains for the first time, those who have no experience, or those who are enjoying it as a family, and those who have beginners. In addition, the tour is set at a convenient time, such as before or after checking in at the hotel, or before dinner. Unlike regular tours, the tour does not involve climbing hills! (Basically, it is only downhill.) You just go down a mountain bike in a pleasant forest like a walk, so even those who are not physically fit can feel at ease. Moreover, it takes less than 1.5 hours from the time of meeting to the time of returning. The time includes a simple explanation of how to ride and preparations before departure, so the actual riding time is just under an hour. (It may seem short, but you will be riding in a real forest with a sense of the extraordinary, so I think it will probably be a memorable mountain biking experience.) What's more, the rental is free! So you can experience MTB empty-handed! *Please note* Regardless of age, if you are under 140cm tall, you must be accustomed to riding a bicycle. As stated in the precautions for participation, those who cannot ride a bicycle normally cannot participate. Rental bicycles start from 26 inches (XS size). (Recommended for people over 140cm tall. If you are accustomed to riding bicycles, people up to 135cm tall can ride, but please note that it may be dangerous if you are not accustomed to riding.) If you can only ride a bicycle under 24 inches, you can only participate in the tour if you bring a bicycle that you are accustomed to riding.

写真にある通りに作れて色々な貝殻や飾り付けも出来楽しかったです。 スタッフの方も優しく、帰りには丁寧に包んでくれました。 でも接着剤としてグルーガンを使用しましたが、くっつきが悪く、持ち帰るとシーサーや飾りが取れてしまっていたので悲しかったです。 瞬間接着剤とかの方が良い気がしましたが、作ってる最中はグルーガンだとやり直しがきくのでそこら辺考えてのことなのかなとも思います。 持ち帰って来てから気付いたのですがこの作品を作るのに恐らく現地の流木を使用するのですが、私が選んだ流木の中の小さな穴からアリの巣が出来ていたのかアリがうじゃうじゃ出て来て家の中のあちらこちらにアリが、、とても大変でした、、 この作品から出ているのだと分かり、置いとくことは出来ないので外すはめになりました。 現地の物を使用していて、それもこの魅力の一つだと思いますがこれからこーゆーことがないように一つ一つ確認して提供して頂けたらと思いました。 このことがなければ雨でも関係なく出来るしとても楽しい時間でした。
