It's my first time doing hiking in the mountain when momiji and it's really amazing! 
This program held by @jtb_jp Semboku-shi for foreigner who living in Akita.
We were guided by a tour guide who has been working as a tour guide for about 7 years. And for those 7 years, she has met bear 3 times.
She also told us how bears appear around us because during the trip we must always be aware about the signs of bears. But during the tour we didn’t meet the bear.
I just found out that there is also a tour like this, maybe for you guys who like adventure / exploring, you can try this kind of nature tourism.
You can really enjoy the atmosphere of the forests, rivers and mountains that can only be enjoyed by trekking. Trekking for 4 hours while seeing momiji really doesn't feel tired at all, but maybe you just felt tired when you were at home, but it's really amazing experience! 😂
Ps: we also did night trekking for about 1 hour to see the stars, but unfortunately the weather was not good because it was cloudy and a little rainy. Maybe next time we can get that chance. 😊😊
