Educational and a Little Adventure - I had a good time with Toshi-san! Very knowledgeable about the flora and the fauna of the forest. The descend to the cave is slightly dangerous, but not difficult. Toshi-san makes sure of my safety. The ice formations are cool! Definitely a nice, quick little sidetrip when in Kawaguchiko.

Tada is a gem on this tour, full of local knowledge and fun facts 😊 - I booked this tour to get away from the crowds and I was not left disappointed. Absolutely had an amazing time exploring this beautiful forest and learning it's rich history. The ice caves are spectacular and would highly recommend anyone looking for an immersive experience while wanting to learn the local history to book this tour. 10/10 based on the humour and the interesting facts I learnt on this tour alone 😊

Fun in Cave and Woods - Experience was wonderful with a group seven. Guide was informative and caring. Cave was chilly. Footing was slippery in spots due to ice but guide alerted us to areas of ice. Fun.

Climbing inside Mt Fuji instead of up is a Great experience - The hike to the cave was pretty much flat on the trail through the forest. It was beautiful ! As a 5’1” person that first step down the ladder into the cave was a bit challenging, but our guide, Tada, guided me down that first step. Along the trail and inside the cave Tada explained so much about the history, formation, and use of this cave. He has a great sense of humor and is very knowledgeable about Mt Fuji and the forest surrounding it. I highly recommend going on this hike and climb into the ice cave. I’m 65 years old and had no major problems hiking and climbing 110 meters inside and around rocks in the cave. It’s worth the experience and I’d do it again!

My dad and I had a great... - My dad and I had a great time! Guide used whatsapp to communicate to keep us in the loop. Pick up and drop off at hotel. Really cool to walk a small part of the forest and climb around in the wind cave. The tour was physically demanding maybe a 6/10. It is dark and icy so keep that in mind when booking also cold (fleece lined pants, a tee and jacket along with the gloves and overalls provided - very comfortable temp wise) would recommend :)

Much more than a cave experience! - A unique way to explore near Mt Fuji! Our guide Tada was the best- we had history lessons, ecology and botany lessons and great stories from Tada’s growing up in the area. Wear thin layers for under the jumpsuit to keep warm

Lava forest walk and ice cave exploration. - After a very pleasant short walk through the lava forest the cave appears. Our guide Toda was very knowledgeable about the area and had excellent English language skills. The cave requires good footwear and some agility (but not too much). We spent about an hour in the cave, it had remnants of huts inside from the locals using the area for silkworm production. A worthwhile experience, and good value for money. Overalls, helmet and headlight all provided.
