Skiing and snowboarding are a bit difficult ... but I want to play with snow! It is a plan for those who love nature for both young and old. Even beginners can walk around the snowy mountain with "Snowshoes", which allows you to easily walk on fluffy snow. Dive into fresh snow, lie down, feel the white snow scene, look for animal footprints, and local guys will tell you how to enjoy the snow. Also enjoy a hot cafe time on the snow table
大人2名と犬(大、中、小)3匹で初めてスノーシューを体験しました! 山の上まで行くとノーリードで犬たちが走り回って楽しめました! 一緒にソリも使って滑ったり、ものすごく楽しかったです! 担当の方も優しく明るい方で楽しかったです! 小型犬のわんちゃんは寒いかなと3枚着込みましたが、走り回ってる間震えることもなく楽しそうにしてました! やっぱり犬用のスノーウェアがよかったみたいです! 中型犬のわんちゃんは人見知りと怖がりで心配してたのですが、ずっと尻尾を振って楽しそうにしてました! なかなか雪と戯れることも少ない地域に住んでるので帰りは大型犬のわんちゃんが帰りたくなくて車の中に入ってくれませんでした(笑) 画質の良い写真もたくさん取ってくれてまたすぐに行きたいなぁと思いました! とても楽しかったです!ありがとうございました!

去る11月の連休に利用した家族3人組です。元々は伊勢参りがメインだったのですが、ただ三重県往復ではつまんないという家族の強い希望があり、帰りの観光地として奈良県を選んだのですが、このバギーツアーを息子が見つけ、あっという間に決めてしまいました。とはいうものの、低い速度とはいえ、変速機能を持ったバギーを運転するのは揃って初めてだったので色々と不安がありました。置いてけぼりをくわないだろうか?また道を迷ったりしないだろうか?一番心配だったのがルート沿線の住民にこちらの慣れない運転で迷惑かけないだろうかと。。。。蓋を開けたらそれらの不安はたちまち消え去りました。なぜならガイドさんの徹底的な安全教育と未熟な運転に根気よく接してくれたのだから。おかげでツアー終盤には余裕で楽しむ事が出来ました。途中年配の団体客から羨望の目で見られた時なんかはちょっと優越した気分でした。何よりも安全第一をモットーとして接してくれたガイドさんには感謝しきれません。また、内容も古くて真新しい印象を受けました。法隆寺よりも法輪寺や法起寺の方に新しい魅力を感じましたから。何から何まで、心に残るツアーとなりました。本当にありがとうございました。

In the hot season, head to a natural athletic course created by lava. Kannabe Highlands is home to Kannabe Volcano, the newest volcano in Kinki and the only one with a crater remaining. Trek through the river, using your whole body along the lava flow that was formed when lava solidified after it erupted about 25,000 years ago. Along the way, you can go close to a waterfall, grab onto rocks to move forward, feel the water pressure, and it's just like natural athletics! One of the things to enjoy is the outdoor break time, where you can relax in a secret place. *There are beginner to intermediate routes, so you can choose a course that suits the physical ability of the participants.
体力と運動神経には自信が無いけど、好奇心だけで本当に本当に楽しめました!超オススメです!大人も子どもも癒される事間違いなし。ムラーノさんが盛り上げてくださったので、冒険気分もぞんぶんに味わえました。念願の滝壺飛び込みも楽しかった~!また来たいです!!

Each kanji character has a meaning, and the appearance of the font is considered beautiful, so ``kanji'' themselves are very popular among foreigners, who often wear T-shirts with large kanji prints on them. Many of you may have seen foreigners with Chinese characters or kanji tattoos on their bodies. The customer chooses such a kanji, and we will explain the calligraphy mindset, tools, and movements, so that they can deeply understand ``Hinomoto Calligraphy'' and write down the kanji they have chosen with a brush.
The staff was very friendly and were genuinely passionate about helping us learn. They were cheering on us and really did their best so that we could have the best experience! The space was beautiful, and we were meticulously cared for. Left the experience excited to tell my friends about it!

Just by living, people accumulate dirt and impurities at the end of each day. It would be nice if we could wash them off ourselves every day, but for busy modern people, it is not easy. Mount Koya, which spreads out in a mountain basin surrounded by peaks at an altitude of about 1,000m, is a sacred place of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai 1,200 years ago. This plan involves climbing together to the top of Benten-dake, the watershed of Mount Koya, and performing a purification and purification prayer in front of the shrine. (Depending on the weather, etc., it may be performed at a different shrine.) A special human figure will be prepared. Usually, the Great Purification is performed at the end of June and the end of December, but for our purification and purification plan, a specialized prayer leader will be available all year round when visitors are in a good mood. We will offer our original incense amulet after praying for it. Why not spend a refreshing time with the goddess of water (Benzaiten)? This is an experiential workshop recommended for those who want to learn more about Mount Koya.

This tour is an adventure tour that combines the mysterious world of Shugendo with the thrill of cave exploration. There are many caves and waterfalls in the Yoshino region of Nara Prefecture, and it has long been considered a sacred place for people who practice asceticism in the mountains. You can experience the beauty of nature and the depth of history by visiting the waterfalls and caves where ancient ascetics practiced. In particular, by exploring inside a cave, you can experience the sensation of entering the womb of the earth with all five senses, touch the mysteries of nature, and refresh your mind and body while being surrounded by a ``silent and mysterious'' atmosphere. **What is Shugendo? **Shugendo is a unique religious culture that incorporates elements of Buddhism and Shintoism into traditional Japanese ascetic practices, and values a sense of unity with nature. Mountains are considered sacred places, and asceticism is carried out in nature. Ascetics are called ``Yamabushi'' and aim for spiritual growth through meditation, waterfall training (asceticism where you are hit by a waterfall), asceticism in caves, etc. Shugendo, born from gratitude for being alive amidst the blessings of nature, is based on the idea that one can be reborn once again through rigorous training in nature. Caves have also been used as training sites. 1. **Arrival at Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base and Briefing**: - After arriving at Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base, you will receive a briefing on the tour overview, safety, and the cultural significance of the places you will visit. 2. **Introduction to Dragonfly Falls Hike**: - Visit Dragonfly Falls, which was also a training site for Shugendo, located a one-minute drive from Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base. Here, you will experience the training of Shugendo and how to face nature, including waterfalls. 3. **Lunch Break**: Have lunch at the park below Dragonfly Falls 4. **Preparing for Expedition**: - Return to Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base and prepare your exploration gear. Once you are ready, you will drive in your guide's car for about 15 minutes to the parking lot near the cave. 5. **Start of cave exploration**: - After arriving at the parking lot, the cave exploration will begin. The exploration begins by searching for the entrance of the cave. Please discover the cave with your own hands. In order to enjoy the cave exploration empty-handed, your luggage will be left in the car and your guide will take care of your valuables other than your smartphone. 6. **Cave exploration**:7. **Response after cave exploration**: - Return to the same parking lot and change from your dirty equipment. 8. **Hot spring bath**: - After the cave exploration, you can enjoy a hot spring bath.
