A unforgettable day-trip from Tokyo, a REAL adventure.
Toshi-San was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable about the forest, its history, and the nature in the surrounding area. Hiking into the forest and then deep into the ice cave was a one-of-kind experience and well-worth beyond the ticket price.
If you are looking for a perfect day trip from Tokyo that is different and gets you outside, look no further!
Thanks so much Toshi and THE HIGHEST PEAK team!

Very cool experience!
The other people that registered didn't show up so I ended up having a private tour. The guide was really nice, polite and funny. It was a very cool experience. The cave is in the forest which is also a beautiful scenario and the experience of going in was incredible!

The guide was incredible....
The guide was incredible. It helped he had lived in Australia so we could have a good chat but he was so knowledgeable on not just the cave but also the forest and everything in it. We finished early and he took me on a scenic drive back past Lake Kawaguchiko with more little bits of information and history that made the drive memorable. Highly recommended.
