Oze can be said to be synonymous with hiking. It usually takes 3 to 5 hours to appreciate the wetland, but this year’s newly planned “Oze 40-hour tour” includes water woad in spring, daylily in early summer, and autumn. With seasonal highlights including fall foliage over a long period of time, we receive a ton of pre-orders. Stay in a mountain hut for two nights, you can enjoy the sunset, sunrise, starry sky.
In addition, there are more forms of hiking and mountaineering tours, such as Daisetsuzan and outlying islands, and this year will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the excavation of the Kurodake Asahidake Trail.
With the growing interest in mountaineering, this spring we launched the Mountaineering School Series, which will move from classroom instruction to full-scale mountaineering. The series is led by professionally certified guides with staff as instructors and begins with classroom lectures and beginners walks. It’s a program that lets you start with the basics, gain experience through multi-day hikes and climbs, and eventually you can board a full-fledged mountain hut for lodging. With support, physical strength and technique can be improved without difficulty, and mountain knowledge and equipment can be learned from experienced and certified guides, so it is mainly popular with middle-aged people.
In addition, Hankyu International Travel is taking measures to protect the environment and consider overtourism so that tourists can enjoy nature exploration in an appropriate environment. Since 2007, we have continued to donate environmentally friendly toilets, mainly to world natural heritage sites and national parks. Through these activities, we will continue to propose eco-friendly and sustainable travel that meets diverse needs.
