Mt Yoshino Tours begin and end at the Kintestsu Abenobashi Station in Osaka.

We always aim to wrap up our tours within the scheduled timeframe, but our top priority is making sure you have a fantastic experience. Sometimes this means our tours might run a little over.

To make sure you have the best time possible, we recommend not scheduling anything immediately after the tour. This way, you have a buffer in case our tour goes a bit longer than planned.

Please wear comfortable walking shoes.
Also, it is a good idea to bring a rain jacket, umbrella,hats and sunglasses just in case it rains, snows or too much sunshine! This way, you can stay comfy and fully enjoy everything we offer.

We strive to offer an intimate tour.
The maximum number of guests is 7 for the Mt. Yoshino Tours, and 15 for all other tours.

Our tour involves a fair amount of walking, so it is not recommended for guests who have difficulty walking for the duration of the tour.

Our tours are not generally recommended for guests with wheelchairs or strollers, as some locations or walking paths are only accessible on foot.

If you have a large bag or any type of roller bag, please make sure to leave it at your hotel or place it in a coin locker at the station before joining our tours.

The deer at Nara Park do not really get along with pets, and we want to respect their natural habitat and ensure their well-being.

About the weather

We usually tour in light rain or snow, but if we determine that weather conditions supose any harm to our guests or guides, we will cancel the tour and issue a full refund.

Tours will also be canceled in the event of any national emergency, such as earthquakes or political unrest.

Make sure to bring plenty of water and sunscreen! Hats and sunglasses are highly recommended.

In case of a climate emergency that could compromise the safety of our travelers we will contact you through e-mail as soon as the situation is comfirmed.
