I participated in September, and although it was warmer than usual for that time of year due to recent global warming, it was quite cold inside the cave at 0 degrees!
Since I was wearing glasses, there was a point right after exiting the cave where I could really feel the temperature difference, and my glasses fogged up there!
It was just after the rain when we exited the cave, and it was magical!9月に参加しましたが、近年の温暖化で9月にしては気温が高めの日でしたが、洞窟内は０度と寒いくらいでした！
The glamping facility tour was fully booked, and all other options were also full, but I was finally able to find availability here and I'm really glad I participated. As long as you wear athletic shoes and comfortable clothing, everything else like the coveralls, helmet, and gloves are provided for you. I wondered if wearing the coveralls was really necessary, but it turned out to be essential. Thanks to that, I could safely move around without worrying about getting dirty while using my hands … The glamping facility tour was fully booked, and all other options were also full, but I was finally able to find availability here and I'm really glad I participated.

I wondered if wearing the coveralls was really necessary, but it turned out to be essential. Thanks to that, I could safely move around without worrying about getting dirty while using my hands or sitting down. For those who have experienced the wind cave, this offers a much more thrilling experience than amusement park attractions, and I highly recommend it. The explanations with picture storytelling were very easy to understand, and I finally grasped things about Mount Fuji and the Aokigahara forest that I thought I knew but actually didn't. The guide answered all our questions, and my son was impressed, saying, "The guide is so smart!" グランピング施設と提携しているツアーが満員で、他も満員、こちらは３つめにやっと空きがあったところだったのですが参加して本当に良かったです。運動靴と動きやすい格好さえしていれば、それ以外はツナギ・ヘルメット・軍手は用意してくれて装着。ツナギなんて着る必要あるのかな？と軽く感じていましたが、必要でした。お陰で汚れる心配なく手をついたり、お尻をつけたり安全に動けました。入場料を払えば気軽に入れる風穴を経験済みの方、遊園地のアトラクションよりずっとドキドキする充実体験が出来、オススメです。紙芝居付きの説… グランピング施設と提携しているツアーが満員で、他も満員、こちらは３つめにやっと空きがあったところだったのですが参加して本当に良かったです。運動靴と動きやすい格好さえしていれば、それ以外はツナギ・ヘルメット・軍手は用意してくれて装着。ツナギなんて着る必要あるのかな？と軽く感じていましたが、必要でした。お陰で汚れる心配なく手をついたり、お尻をつけたり安全に動けました。入場料を払えば気軽に入れる風穴を経験済みの方、遊園地のアトラクションよりずっとドキドキする充実体験が出来、オススメです。紙芝居付きの説明などもとても分かりやすく、知ってるつもりで知らなかった富士山や樹海について分かって、やっと腑に落ちました。質問になんでも答えてくれて、息子はガイドさん頭いい！と感激していました。

The guide provided a thorough explanation, allowing us to walk through the sea of trees with interest. The darkness inside the cave, where we couldn't see anything, was a rare experience that we couldn't have anywhere else. We had a very enjoyable time. Thank you very much.ガイドさんが丁寧に説明をして下さるので、 ただ樹海の中を興味を持って歩くことが出来ました。 洞窟の中での何も見えない暗闇は、なかなか体験出来ない貴重なものでした。 とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。 ありがとうございました。

Aokigahara was a short distance, but exploring the lava caves was fascinating. It felt like a different world inside compared to outside. I'm glad we had a guide to show us around.青木ヶ原は短い距離でしたが、溶岩洞窟の探検が面白かったです。 外と中が別の世界でした。 ガイドさんに案内していただいて良かったです。

We participated in a forest tour with our family of four. I learned for the first time that Aokigahara Forest is fundamentally different from other forests. As we entered deeper into the woods with the guide's explanations, we encountered an unknown sense of wonder. The entrance to the cave is quite impressive. The crevice looks like the mouth of the earth. I want you to experience the thrill of going down there.

Just one point: there is only one restroom at the meeting place. Since participants gather all at once, it gets crowded. If you're concerned, please arrive a little early to use the restroom at your leisure. 家族4人で樹海ツアーに参加しました。 初めて知りましたが、青木ヶ原樹海とは他の森とは根本が違うのです。ガイド様の説明付きで森の奥へ入って行くと未知の感動に遭遇します。洞窟入り口はなかなかの迫力です。裂け目は大地の口のようです。そこへ降りて行く時のドキドキを体験して頂きたい。真夏にも関わらず一歩降りる度に身体を包んでゆく冷気。
The cave experience is shortened due to time constraints.

I was looking forward to the cave experience, but due to various circumstances, the start time was slightly delayed and the ending time was not extended, so the cave experience was cut short. When I later asked the staff, they coldly replied, "We didn't go all the way in today because we didn't have time!" Additionally, the quality of the commemorative photo shoot was poor. It seems this company prioritizes time over customer service.楽しみにしていた洞窟体験でしたが、諸事情によりスタート時間が少々遅れても終了時間は延長されず、洞窟体験は途中まで案内されて終了となりました。後で担当者に伺うと『今日は時間がないので奥まで行かずに終了しました！』と素っ気無く返答されました。 また、記念写真の撮影もお粗末です。 この会社はお客様のサービスよりも時間優先で考えるようです。

The guide kindly explained the formation of Mount Fuji and the Aokigahara Forest, deepening our understanding as we enjoyed a pleasant stroll through the fresh greenery.
It was cold inside the wind cave, but even so, temperatures have been rising in recent years, leading to the melting of ice and the discovery of structures from the Meiji era.
While it may be easy to attribute this to global warming, it highlighted the challenge of needing to protect valuable cultural assets in the future.

The former Self-Defense Force guide explained the history of how the Jukai (Sea of Trees) and Mount Fuji have formed into their current shapes, sometimes even crawling on the ground to give us the best view.

At the scenic spots, the guide took many photos for us, and there was even a service to download them for free later. I really appreciated the extra effort, as the guide not only managed the tour but also set up lights in the cave to illuminate our faces for the photos.

There were elementary school children as well, but we received very thorough explanations during the preparation and excellent support on-site, which provided us with a great experience that was worth more than the price. The guide had a wealth of knowledge about the history of the forest and related topics, and despite wearing masks for infection control, they provided a long and detailed tour. I believe this has become a wonderful memory for our family. Thank you very much.小学生の子供もいましたが、非常に丁寧な事前準備説明、現場でのサポートを頂き、値段以上の良い体験をさせて頂きました。樹海の歴史や関連する知識が豊富で、感染対策でマスクをされる中、長い時間丁寧なガイドをして頂き、家族としての非常によい思い出の1ページになったと思います。有難うございました。

I participated in this tour because I wanted to do something exploratory rather than just walking through the well-maintained caves during my first visit to the Jukai. Since it was a cold day in early March, there were only two participants, myself and my husband, which allowed us to explore slowly while asking the guide many questions.

The day we participated was cold and rainy, but there was hardly any temperature difference between the outside air and the inside of the cave. The cave felt warmer due to the lack of wind. Additionally, since there had been little rain recently, the cave was easy to walk through without dripping water. There were many ice stalagmites, and I was moved to see the beautiful, highly transparent ice formations! As a result, it was the perfect climate for cave exploration.
During the exploration, the guide took many photos for us and sent them via email the next day. I am very grateful for the prompt and courteous service! 始めての樹海で、整備された洞窟をただ歩くのではなく、探検的なことをしたいと思いこのツアーに参加しました。 3月初旬の寒い日とういこともあり、参加者は私と主人の2人だけでしたので、同行ガイドさんにたくさん質問しながらゆっくり探検できました。

I participated from Osaka City. Since it was the end of March, I thought I would be able to enjoy the beautiful view of Mount Fuji, but it started snowing the day before, and we, who were staying by Lake Yamanaka, faced the worst situation where we couldn't get our car out of the hotel due to the snow... After initially canceling, we thought about how we could still participate and decided to take a taxi to Lake Kawaguchi. We arrived safely at the meeting place, and I felt relieved.

After initially canceling, we thought about how we could still participate and decided to take a taxi to Lake Kawaguchi. We arrived safely at the meeting place, and I felt relieved. The staff welcomed us warmly, and we shared our story, creating a friendly atmosphere.
And finally, we set off!! I have visited Lake Kawaguchi and Lake Yamanaka many times, but it was my first time in the Aokigahara Forest, so I was very excited. The Aokigahara we arrived at was very mystical and beautiful due to the snow, and I had a negative impression of the forest, but it completely changed.
Our guide, Messi, provided explanations that were very enjoyable, easy to understand, and educational. As we walked through the forest, listening to Messi's explanations, we arrived at the entrance of the Fuji Wind Cave. We had to descend a narrow ladder to enter a tight opening. The beginning of the cave was made of rugged lava, and it was quite a challenge to descend carefully. Even inside the cave, we continued to receive explanations from Messi, learning that it had been used for sericulture since the Edo period and that the wood used back then was still trapped in the ice, which was very interesting. The cave, covered in icicles and ice stalagmites, was incredibly beautiful, and all the fatigue we had felt vanished in an instant.
This time, we explored the forest in a snowy landscape, but I would love to see the forest covered in summer greenery as well. And I truly appreciate our guide, Messi, for calling us after the tour to provide information, especially since we were not used to the snow. We returned safely to Osaka!! I definitely want to visit again. 長文になっています。
In conclusion, it is worth more than the price. It's perfect for adventurous people.
Reasons I thought it was good: 1. The cave is like another world → The ice crystals are like jewels. 2. Surprisingly not tiring → It's okay even for those without stamina or who dislike getting tired. 3. The time commitment isn't too long → It's about 4 hours, so it doesn't take up the whole day. 4. The guide is great → They explained the formation of the forest as well.結論から言うと、金額以上の価値がある 冒険心がある、人にはぴったし。
Thank you for using our services. We are also pleased to hear that you were satisfied. The appearance of the caves changes with the seasons. Additionally, we have many other programs besides the Aokigahara Cave exploration. Please feel free to visit us again.
I was moved by the natural mysteries of the Jukai (Sea of Trees)!

When I think of Aokigahara, I had a negative image and didn't consider it a place for tourism. However, a colleague told me that the hiking tour in Aokigahara was fantastic, so I thought it would be safe to join a tour out of curiosity.
First, we gathered at the office by Lake Kawaguchi, checked in, changed into the free rental coveralls, and received helmets and gloves.

However, a colleague told me that the hiking tour in Aokigahara was fantastic, so I thought it would be safe to join a tour out of curiosity.
First, we gathered at the office by Lake Kawaguchi, checked in, changed into the free rental coveralls, and received helmets and gloves. Perhaps because it was summer vacation, about 15 people participated, including couples, friends, and families. We set off in two tour company vans! After about a 30-minute drive, we took a bathroom break at the Narusawa Road Station, and after another 10-minute drive, we arrived at the entrance of the lush forest.
It was completely different from my initial image; the sun was shining brightly, and the hiking trail was well-maintained, changing my impression to that of an ordinary forest. However, since it was a forest formed by flowing lava and lacked soil, the trees couldn't establish roots, causing their roots to be exposed above ground, which gave a mystical impression.
Along the way, I saw mushrooms known as "monkey seats" and pine cones that had been eaten by squirrels, which was quite heartwarming.
After about a 10-minute hike, we reached a place where mist began to appear. This was the main attraction of the tour, the natural monument known as "Fujikaze Cave." I was surprised to see such a large cave in the forest from above, but there was more to come! The temperature inside the cave was 0 degrees, so as we approached the entrance, I could distinctly feel the temperature difference from the nearly 30 degrees outside. It was quite amusing to feel my face hot while my lower body was cool.
The cave was pitch dark, so we turned on our headlamps and slowly descended, following the guide's instructions. There were some steep areas, and I felt anxious about which direction to go and whether I was really supposed to continue, so I realized that this was a place you couldn't visit without a guide. I moved forward while constantly touching the rocks with both my hands and feet.
We communicated as we encountered icy spots and low ceilings, and finally arrived at the innermost ice chamber. It was so beautiful that I was left speechless, with a vast expanse of ice spread out before us. Since the cave was completely dark, it would be wise to think that if you drop your phone, you won't get it back. However, if you want to take photos in this last ice chamber, it would be fine to securely keep your phone in your pocket.
Once we emerged from the cave, it was hot! I realized again just how cold the cave was. I passed by other tour groups, and I saw some people participating in T-shirts, so I was glad I chose this tour that provided free coveralls and gloves. On the way back, I walked the same path we came in, savoring the natural wonders I had just experienced.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to feel the mysteries of nature! If you have your own car and are staying in the Yamanakako area, it seems you can also disband at the Narusawa Road Station, so be sure to ask about that. The guide provides excellent support, making it accessible even for elementary school children. 樹海というとネガティブなイメージがあり、観光に行くところではないと思っていましたが、同僚が青木ヶ原樹海のハイキングツアーがすごく良かったと教えてくれたので、ツアーなら安全だろうと興味本位で申し込みました。
We had Tada for our tour guide. He has a great personality and was really entertaining as well as professional during the tour. We had 2 kids with us (14 and 7) and he was super patient bringing us through the cave safely. By the end of the tour, the 7 year old loved this day trip better than Disneyland!! It is definitely an adventure though, so don't expect boardwalks and steel railings on this trip. Just rocks and ice, a real underground experience!

The only thing I'd like to see is a hotel pick up service for guests in the Fujikawaguchiko area. It was only a 10 minute drive, but it would have been simpler than finding a taxi to take us.
AMAZING TRIP, it made our stay in Fuji unforgettable!

It's not exactly an expedition, but it's not a place you can easily visit on your own, so I think a tour is a good idea. They provide the necessary equipment, so no preparation is needed. Even in early September, it can be cold inside the cave, and there is still ice remaining. Also, I wouldn't recommend it for people with claustrophobia.探検と言うほどの物では無いが、初見で行けるような場所では無いのでツアーは良いと思う。必要な装備は用意頂けるので、準備不要。9月初旬でも洞窟内は寒く、氷も残っている。 あと、暗所恐怖症の人にはお勧めしない。

Lava Cave Expedition We descended into a wide open cave in the forest. It was the middle of summer, but once I stepped in, the temperature suddenly dropped. We went down about 10 meters from the entrance and experienced the world of ice and darkness. It was a continuous stream of surprises, but I won't ruin the experience for you. It's a pretty tough course, so I recommend you to participate with shoes suited for sports to prevent slipping. Also, if you drop your camera or cellphone, there is a chance you'll never find it again. The guide will take photos too, so you can attend empty handed.
Our guide, Mr."Utaemon" was very helpful. Thank you very much. My son wrote a summer journal entry about his experience in the cave with Mr.Utaemon.

It feels like the forest from "My Neighbor Totoro." The guide's explanations about the history of Mount Fuji and the forest were also very interesting (my son seemed to understand as well).
* Lava Cave Exploration First, we descended into a depression in the forest. Even though it was summer outside, the temperature dropped significantly as we went down. We entered the cave from the entrance and descended nearly 10 meters, experiencing a world of darkness and ice. It was a series of surprises and emotions, but you'll have to experience it for yourself! It's quite challenging, so I recommend wearing non-slip, comfortable shoes. Also, if you drop your camera or phone inside the cave, there's a good chance you won't find it again. The guide will take photos for you, so it's fine to participate hands-free.
In any case, I really appreciated our guide, "Utaemon." Thank you very much. My son immediately wrote about this cave tour with "Utaemon" in his summer vacation diary. 小学校二年生の息子との男旅で参加。当日の参加者は11名で、子どもは一人。大丈夫かな..と思いましたが、ガイドの方がほぼマンツーマンで付いてくれて、安心して参加できました。
Thank you for participating the other day. The atmosphere in both the Jukai and the caves was outstanding, wasn't it? I'm honored to have been a part of your memories from your trip as two men.先日はご参加ありがとうございました。 当時は樹海も洞窟も雰囲気は抜群でしたね。 二人の男旅の思い出に少しでもかかわれて光栄です。
