Frequently asked questions and answers about Hiraodai guided tours
Q
When is the best season to enjoy caving?
A
鍾乳洞(洞窟)内は年中、同じ気温です。平尾台は平均気温15度で夏は涼しく、冬は暖かい為、年中楽しめるアウトドアアクティビティです。
Q
A
Can I experience it even if it rains?
Yes, you can. It can be held in any weather without any problems. There is a moderate amount of water, which adds to the sense of adventure. However, in the case of sudden heavy rain, you may not be able to enter the cave.
Q
What time would you recommend?
A
Caving is an outdoor activity that can be enjoyed all year round. It is cool in the summer and warm in the winter, so it is a sport that is not affected by the weather. In the winter, you can also observe many living creatures.
Q
A
何歳から参加できますか？
We are targeting children from the third grade of elementary school. We also offer mini cave explorations for children under the third grade of elementary school, so please feel free to contact us. By the way, there is basically no upper age limit. We also guide people in their 70s.
Q
I'm worried about not having enough stamina...
A
トレッキングとは違い、急な登りなどもなく、走ったりする事もありません。ゆっくりと進みますので、普通に歩く事ができればどなたでも楽しむ事ができますよ。
Q
Can I participate alone?

Basically, all guided tours are accepted for two or more people. If you are participating alone, the tour will be held at the price of two people. Also, we will recruit additional people once we have received a reservation, so please feel free to contact us.

■ Regarding other tours
Q

What kinds of trekking tours are available?
Hiraodai has many routes and courses. We can design the time and course according to your requests and interests. Walking with a guide can help you discover things you have never seen before.
Q
I am a beginner at mountain climbing. Can I still participate?
A
We provide a relaxed tour even for beginners. Many beginners and customers who do not usually exercise much participate in our tours. We hope you will join us once, as if it were an extension of your walk.
Q
A
What other places do you show us besides Hiraodai?
Within Kyushu, we also take you to mountain ranges such as Mount Kuju, Mount Aso, and Mount Hiko. If you've just started mountain climbing and are worried about climbing alone, or if you want to try climbing a certain mountain, please feel free to contact us. We offer tours at a relatively reasonable price compared to general trekking tours.
Q
A
What should I do about equipment?
For the Hiraodai trekking tour, sneakers are OK! Other than that, you don't need any special clothing. We also provide advice on what you should get first if you want to step up your game little by little, or if you want to start enjoying mountain climbing in earnest.
*The equipment list is currently being prepared.
Q
Can small children participate?
If you can walk by yourself, you can participate without any problems. We also have an exploration course for children, so we offer an experience that stimulates the five senses while moving your body to your heart's content in nature.
