I enjoyed the trip and will definitely return to reach the summit top. Doumo Arigato Gozaimasu.

The tour was great, and enjoyable. No comment, or improvement. Perhaps we need more courses like these. Thank you so much.

The acting is very exciting and interesting. The explanation are quite clear, sometimes I confuse a little bit. Overall is an amazing experience.

I liked the tour! The pace was good. Splitting to group felt unnecessary. It was nice to talk to the tour guides. All the listed items to bring weren’t necessary. Less would have been enough.

The tour today around Mt Oyama was fun. Although a bit hard, it’s exciting. The guiding from KSGG is also very informative. Muhammad Akeyla Pradana Cahyadi (Indonesia)

The activity was amazing and great!! I hope KSGG does this again. We hope this kind of activity more often！For the whole activity is perfect, but it would be more perfect if we go to the summit (even though it would be hard) Overall, this is an amazing activity we hope to see you guys again.

It was a great adventure for me since it is the first time hiking in Japan. It will be very nice if we got a chance to have some ･･･ on the mountain like I saw earlier at the top.
