Good to Know

  • Please note that this is not a private tour and you cannot be picked up/dropped off in destinations other than the designated meeting points.
  • This tour includes ‘sake’ tasting. You must be a minimum of 20 years of age to consume alcohol in Japan. For those underage OR guests who do not consume alcohol, non-alcoholic sakes are available.
  • There will be a substantial amount of walking involved (1.6km walk to and from the park).
  • Please wear suitable shoes for walking the forest trail (no heels/sandals) and a bag that is easy to carry. Although routes will be generally flat and easy to walk, the forest trail may be slippery in the winter.
  • There are a few days in the year that the monkeys might not come down to the park.
  • Please let us know of any food allergies and we will arrange lunch accordingly.
  • Please note, there may be possible changes in the itinerary/included experiences due to local events, weather, restaurant availability, or other unforeseeable factors.
