Message
The Oku Ise area of Mie Prefecture has a beautiful satoyama landscape with the Miya River, which has been repeatedly selected as the clearest river in Japan. In the upper reaches of the river, there is "Osugi Valley," one of the three largest canyons in Japan, and we offer guided tours around this area. Our motto is "Link FAN & FUN”, as we emphasize the enjoyment of activities as well as the charm of the area.
Guide Q&A
Q: What is your most memorable experience in nature?
Diving in Cairns. I found it wonderful to be in an environment where I could enjoy a fusion of nature, people and technology with the great ocean, ships and diving.
Q: What does nature represent to you?
A small part of nature in my neighborhood is My Sports Gym.
Q: What has nature taught you?
It is necessary to change every day. Despite its majestic existence, no view is the same from one day to the next. I wondered if this applies to us living in nature. (A bit abstract, isn't it?)
Q: What do you hope that people will get out of experiences with you as a guide?
I want people to get the feeling of "I want to tell someone about this fun and excitement". This is the idea of “Link FAN & FUN”.
