We use a local bus. The departure time of the bus is 9:10am. So I can't wait for my guest who is late.
The walking time is about 90~100 minutes.
The course is a gradual ascent, paved, narrow path along the river and it has about 150 steps stone stair on the way. So you shoud wear suitable clothes, rain gear, shoes and take a bottle of water.
I'm an expert guide for SHOSENKYO, the most beatiful ravine in Japan. And I'm a veteran in a historical tour about SHINGEN TAKEDA gained fame as a brave warlord in the Warring State Period, such as TAKEDAJINJYA shrine, KAIZENKOJI temple, KOFUJYO castle and so on. Also KOSHU wines and LOCAL foods are in my territory. Ill provide you happy time that would remain in your heart.
“Fantastic guided hike, cooking class and calligraphy lesson”
Yoichi and Yasuko gave a great guided hike of the Shosenkyo Gorge, a Houtou (noodle) cooking lesson (and lunch), and a calligraphy lesson. They were great guides, really knowledgeable about the area, its history and mythology - it's a beautiful area to start with, but having that context really makes it a great experience. Even aside from their guidance and knowledge, they were great company! My wife and I really enjoyed it.
