Guida
Set in the beautiful Nishizawa Valley in Yamanashi City, this program offers a deep dive into the natural environment. Rather than a simple stroll, you will walk alongside an expert to experience the region's rich water resources and surrounding ecosystems using all your senses.
Following a natural 'footpath' route, you will discover the charm of the clear streams. This is an ideal experience for those wishing to deepen their understanding of nature, families with children, or travelers seeking educational outdoor activities.
The main attraction is the combination of deep learning from an expert and hands-on fieldwork.
First, you will walk through the lush forests and clear streams of Nishizawa Valley with a guide, feeling the rhythm of nature. The route is relatively gentle, making it safe and enjoyable even for beginners.
After the walk, a lecture by a professor from Tsuru University awaits. You will learn the scientific reasons behind the region's abundant water and the environmental mechanisms at play. Connecting the scenery you just walked through with academic knowledge is a truly moving experience.
This program is held on specified dates. Please note that the schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions.
