Hiking

Guided Hike (half day, 5 hours)

A low mountain for first-timers. How to walk, what to carry, when to rest.

A gentle ascent on a low mountain, paced for someone who has never hiked before. In Kanto that usually means Takao or Tsukuba — both reachable by train, and both with an onsen at the bottom.

Choosing boots, how much water, when to stop, how to descend without wrecking your knees. Things that let you go on your own next time.

Note: I do not guide technical terrain — rock, chains or snow. The final call on whether we go, and whether we turn back, is mine.
