Six of my coworkers participated. We were all different ages, but everyone was taken care to ensure safety and enjoyment, and we all had a great time and were very satisfied. The instructor was from Nepal, but he spoke Japanese, was strong, and was very considerate, so we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. I'd like to come again! Thank you very much!
