My teenaged daughter and I had a great time hiking Tsurugi-san. Not being serious hikers, taking the scenic chairlift halfway up/down past some steep terrain was absolutely fantastic! The 40-minute or so hike to the summit from there had some steep spots but was scenic and enjoyable (even in a drizzling rain). From the summit, there are several 1-2 hour (one-way) hikes to adjacent peaks that can be added on or used to link together a several-day hike of the peaks. We spent an awesome night at the summit in the Chojo Hutte. Don't let the word "hut" discourage you -- it's larger than you'd expect, very clean, and has comfortable tatami rooms, hot water for bathing, and delicious traditional Japanese meals. The Nii family is also amazingly friendly and speak more-than-adequate English for what you're likely to need. You won't be disappointed by the sunset, stars or sunrise, even if you get a lot of clouds. Yes, there are several buildings/installations at the top, but you still get gorgeous 360-degree views to nearby peaks and more distant ranges, and the various boardwalks protect the summit and make it easy to walk and find your way when the clouds roll in or in the dark. Reaching Tsurugi requires a slow but scenic drive along winding, one-lane roads from whichever direction you approach it, but it's definitely worth the effort. Highly recommended!

I experienced the first rafting with family. I applied to the shop “safari”, because this shop is doing pick up service between the shop and Awa-Ikeda Station of JR. Staffs are very kind and cheerful, and foreign staffs are working. I could spend very happy time while enjoying a scene of beautiful Koboke with my familliy. 三好市池田町イタノ3306-6にある『サファリ』というお店に申し込んで初のラフティングを家族で楽しみました。このお店はJRの阿波池田駅まで迎えに来てくれます。スタッフの方はとても陽気で親切。美しい小歩危の景観を楽しみながら、ファミリーコースではラフティングの途中でボートを滑り台にして滑ったり、高い岩の上から飛び込んだり、色々遊んで満喫できました。他にも色々なコースがあり、リピーター割引もあるので、来年も是非行きたいと思います。
