Beautiful morning hike

Published on Nov, 2024

A truly wonderful and unique experience! Easy/Moderate hike - there are lots of pauses and stops that makes the climbing quite doable. Michi is a lovely and thoughtful guide!

Fantastic tour!

We had a fantastic time on this tour, with our tour guide Nana. It was great to see a different side to Hiroshima and we learnt a lot about Japanese culture. The tea ceremony and guided meditations were great too. Would highly recommend!

Even Japanese people are surprised!

It's a tour where you can hike up Mt. Futaba, which is visible right from the Shinkansen's Hiroshima Station, and enjoy matcha tea at the summit. As a Japanese person, this was my first time experiencing this tour, and it was very fulfilling. I was surprised to find such a lush, green forest so close to the city, and the view from the top was wonderful—you get a panoramic view of Hiroshima. In Hiroshima, attention usually focuses on the Peace Memorial Museum and Miyajima, but I was amazed to discover a place that can make you feel so enriched beyond those. I think anyone traveling to Hiroshima should definitely participate. Even Japanese people are surprised! I want to join again.

Hiroshima view with a cuppa

Great tout. Hiking up the hills just outside the city visiting Shrines along the way. The tea ceremony at the top was really good topped off by great views. Nana was a really pleasant and informative guide.

Views of Hiroshima with a nice cuppa

Amazing tour hiking up and visiting the shines in the hills outside Hiroshima along with a traditional tea ceremony. The views up there are great. Nana was very pleasant, informative and makes a great cup of matcha tea.
