Our guide, Masa, was very courteous and qualified, and was always on top of everything. She took care of the whole trip, from the pre-trip preparation to the hiking companion, and then to the return trip care, so that we can easily enjoy the Japan hiking trip, do not miss any of the scenery, we are very relieved. We will ask Masa to be our guide next time we come to Japan. Thank you for your help!
