Really
nice
staff
-
they
know
just
a
little
English,
but
are
extremely
willing
to
provide
extra
care
and
patience
to
those
who
need
it.
The
introduction/guide
was
all
in
Japanese
and
unfortunately
there
wasn't
a
written
explanation
-
basically
it's:
1)
Follow
the
metal
"track"
with
the
strongest
device
(it
has
two
wheels
and
moves
smoothly
along
the
track
-
and
passes
through
"checkpoints"
only
at
a
certain
angle.
You
just
need
to
make
sure
you
have
this
on
at
the
start
of
each
section
2.1)
Put
your
red
hook
onto
the
red
ropes
for
support,
or
2.2)
on
top
of
the
metal
track
roller
device
(better
distributes
weight
on
the
ropes)
3)
When
climbing,
attach
the
blue
hook
to
the
blue
hook
on
your
belt.
The
colour
coding
makes
things
easy,
and
people
of
all
ages
(kids,
old
grandpa's,
everything
between
-
so
long
as
they're
over
140cm
tall,
I
think!)
can
have
fun.
Bottle
holder
sachets
are
freely
available
to
borrow,
and
vending
machines
are
nearby.
We
just
did
the
intro,
level
1,
and
level
3
course
-
skipping
level
2
because
a
short
person
in
our
group
found
the
Amazon
Wire
(tightrope,
with
rope
to
hold
above)
very
challenging.
Took
us
3
hours
with
a
little
break,
and
we
were
quite
tired
from
getting
to
Chichibu
so
we
stopped
there.
Small
lockers
with
4-digit
passcodes
are
available
for
free.
Gloves
can
be
rented
for
free.
I
lost
a
bit
of
skin
on
my
finger
from
the
zip
line,
so
in
retrospect
I'd
have
rented
some
gloves
too.
For
3300
yen
(£25)
I
think
we
had
a
lot
of
fun
and
it
was
a
great
change
of
physical
activity
from
walking
during
my
holiday
in
Japan.
The
bus
takes
about
20
minutes
there/back
from
chichibi,
and
wasn't
too
crowded
for
us
(Friday,
summer
hols).
You
can
reserve
online,
or
on
phone
(you
might
get
lucky
and
be
able
to
reserve
a
spot
even
if
the
website
shows
its
fully
booked).
I'm
not
sure
if
they
speak
English
on
the
phone.
