Mika Iwai

Let's enjoy the world-class beauty of The Japan Alps together!

I was fascinated by the mountains of Shinshu and climbed many different kinds of mountains. I learned about the beauty of mountains as well as the strength and fear of nature. There are many different ways to enjoy mountains. If you want to climb the mountain of your dreams, see the flowers, or if you are worried that you may not be able to keep up with the tours, please contact us. Would you like to walk with us through the beautiful and moving scenery of the Alps from season to season?
We will also guide you around Oku-chichibu and Mt. Asama-yama upon request.
