Tada is an extremely knowledgeable scholar of Mount Fuji's surrounding geology and ecology. There isn't a question he can't answer regarding the forest, caves, lava, ice and soil on this excursion in the caverns and forests of Mount Fuji.
My personal recommendation is to do this excursion in the spring when the ice formations in the cave are at their fullest, because the summer heat melts much of them.
Regardless, this is a great experience worth anyone's time.

We had a wonderful experience! Toshi was so knowledgeable and helpful. He shared lots of details about the forest, the caves, and the history of the mountain. The clouds even cleared to give us a great view of Mt. Fuji! Highly recommend!

Booked this tour and explored the forest and ice cave. It was raining that day and the forest was extra moody. Worth experiencing the forest and seeing the dense roots growing on top of the volcanic ground and bright green moss everywhere.
The ice cave was very dark and difficult to walk (slippery) - we were provided headlamps and jumpsuits. The jumpsuits and hard hats kept us dry. The ice sculptures inside were cool to see - we did not go all the way in since it was so slippery but could see more ice stalagtites and stalagmites farther in. There was one other group that entered the cave during our visit.
The guide was knowledgeable and kind. He picked everyone up and dropped off at everyone's requested locations. Our tour had 6 people. He did not rush us during the tour.

This was a fabulous adventure. Be prepared to descend into the cave by ladder and traverse over icy rocks. We got the boots and the they were well worth it! Amazing to be inside the cave and our guide Takashi was very knowledgeable and led us safely through the forest and cave. Really unforgettable!
