The tour was a super nice way to escape from the city life and enjoy some beautiful nature scenery. Our guide Satoko was super nice and gave us interesting information about the surroundings and the culture. Would definitely recommend this tour!
We had a wonderful morning with Ko! Highly suggest taking this tour and enjoying a nice walk in the woods. Luckily got to see some monkeys too! The waterfall is peaceful and beautiful.
Amazing trip. Lunch, snack and a traditional yuzu drink included in the price. Our guide Itat was super helpful and knowledgeable and kept the hike fun and steady. Great value for money and great experience
The tour guide was very kind and very enthusiastic and ready to chat! He explained the culture and history behind the location clearly, and the views were beautiful. The snacks and meal were also delicious. This was a great introduction to the area if it is your first time there. It's definitely good value and I had a lovely time :)
Satoko was personable, helpful, and a well of information during our tour. She provided many interesting factoids about various stops along the tour, which she led expertly and with attention to the expressed interests of tour attendees. We had a small group, which was also nice!
Kenji was an excellent and knowledgeable guide I would highly recommend this and any other tour that he is doing.
Excellent tour with gorgeous scenery. Perfect climate and not crowded at all. Thank you to Taka our guide for being so patient and supportive!
The trip was relaxing and a very good alternative to escape the buzzling downtown of Osaka for a few hours. Transport is just about 30m by train fm JR OSA-Station. Walking through old and nice forest, it can be walked on road or by a not difficult hiking course (mainly) along creek with small ups and downs. Atmosphere at waterfall is nice, it was not crowded at our visit. Highlight was the lunch we had included at a traditional Japanese Soba-Restraurant with homemade brooth - I had selected curry taste that had nice incredients. Our guide Taka spoke perfect English and explained all details, n
what a fantastic day to explore a different side of Osaka. Beautiful waterfall and hiking trails. lunch was delicious thatnkyou Taka and your assistant guide. a day not to be forgotten

I loved the trip despite or because of the rain. The scenery and nature were impressive and breathtaking. The guide was excellent and the food at the end of the trip was delicious.
The view of the hiking route and the waterfall ia amazing. I was very lucky to have Ryoma as my guide. He explained the history and all the interesting facts about the place. I really enjoyed the tour.
