◆ Requests to customers
Outdoor tours are sports that involve nature, so they are not always safe.
As they are conducted in nature, they contain dangerous elements.
Please make sure you understand the details before making a reservation.

◆ Guide standards
Minakami Town's outdoor tours are governed by the Outdoor Tourism Ordinance, which sets out regulations and standards, and the Outdoor Federation, a general incorporated association, has been established, which sets out even stricter standards and regulations.
Our guides have cleared these requirements, and all outdoor tours are accompanied by qualified Rescue 3 and medical first aid personnel, so you can participate with peace of mind.
