What a wonderful fun, nature filled , Japan rich experience. We saw rural and real Japan out of the big cities and towns which I was desperate for and I wasn’t disappointed. Our guide Jonah was fabulous and speaks excellent English. He went the extra mile and came and picked us up from the port . The highlight apart from the amazing scenery and great company was lunch. What an absolute gem. All freshly grown and to eat a slice of mushroom that takes two years to grow felt like a huge indulgence and privilidge. Thank you so much Jonah.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I had a great time too, and I felt like I was spending time with old friends from start to finish. It was a real privilege to guide you through the Oasa community and share those small encounters along the way. I’ll certainly let the chef know how much you enjoyed lunch. Thank you again, and I hope the rest of your trip is filled with meaningful moments and joy.

Wow what a great experience we had with Jonah. We rode around the farmland and township of Oaso. Jonah was very knowledgeable about the town and local area. We met a 93 year old farmer who was so friendly and chatted with us about his life and experiences. We also had a lesson in making sushi. Our teacher was amazing and the meal was fabulous. A real highlight. Jonah’s instructions regarding getting the bus to the township were exact. The hour bus ride was enjoyable and allowed us to view the landscape of forests, small villages and farmlands. The bikes were electric so peddling was easy. The weather wasn’t great but didn’t diminish the experience. Highly recommend this experience.

Great day! Active biking day, regular stops and lots of information. Jonah is a great tour guide. Although it was a rainy day (Jonah brought a poncho for me), I enjoyed this day very much. Information on the bus, schedule and pick up were perfectly provided. Thank you!

Oasa is a very special place with amazing people. I had a great time with Jonah and his wife. Oasa is evidently beautiful even if it was raining during my visit.
If you want an authentic Japan experience, I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you to Jonah and his wife. They made sure that I feel comfortable the entire time. The entire experience is fun.
With Jonah and his wife, I can say that I made friends in this beautiful town. I will always treasure the time I spent with them. I am really excited to go back and visit Oasa again. :) See you!
P.S:
To use the JR pass, just show your JR Pass to the bus driver before getting off the bus :)
