この度初めてツアーに参加しました。ガイドさんのお話がとても楽しく、自然と触れ合いながら充実した朝の時間を過ごすことができました。東照宮や広島の街の歴史について知り、学ぶだけでなく、原爆投下からの復興など過去から現在、そして未来へと続いていくストーリーが印象的でした。森林浴アクティビティでは、木を触ったり、寝転んだり、土の匂いを嗅いだりなど五感を用いて二葉山の自然と触れ合うことができ、おいしい空気を吸って心身ともにリフレッシュできました。山頂からは広島市内と瀬戸内の多島美を一望でき、感動の眺めです！おいしいお抹茶とお菓子で贅沢な時間を過ごさせていただきました。”Another face o...

When I felt I couldn’t continue mounting the last 300 stairs without the help of a railing she agreed to continue upward with my younger (73-year-old) brother.

What a beautiful experience, a crisp spring Hiroshima morning winding slowly up Mount Futaba, through temples and past multiple shrines (where you can donate a coin and pray for your ‘wish’ at different ones - good health, money, fertility etc). Culminating in some meditation and traditional matcha tea ceremony amongst the cherry blossoms, our group had so much fun with our lovely tour guide, Nana.This was one of the best experiences we had in Japan. Such a nice and calm morning on the mountain in the nature, escaping the busy holiday season in Japan. If we come back, we would do it again. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience.
