What to Bring
- •Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
- •Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
- •Not recommended for pregnant travelers
- •Public transportation options are available nearby
- •Suitable for all physical fitness levels
- •Please be at the meeting place 15 minutes prior to the start time. Please note that due to the train time, if you are late for the start time, you will not be able to participate even if you call us.
- •Duration includes experience and transfer time. You can expect to return to Kyoto Station about 2.5 to 3 hours after the start time. The exact timing may vary slightly depending on the train schedule. Leaving the class early is not recommended, so please make sure to allow plenty of time when planning your activities afterward.
- •There are certain days when reservations for a single participant are not available. On those days, you may still join by making a booking for two participants and covering the fee for two. We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation.
- •It takes about 12 minutes by JR train from Kyoto Station to Takatsuki Station, which is the nearest station to the studio. However, if you take a taxi directly from Kyoto, it will take more than an hour and the taxi fare will be quite expensive. With traffic jams, it could take even longer, so we do not recommend taking a taxi directly from Kyoto to the studio.
- •Important Info again!! About Meeting place and time. Due to the train’s schedule, we cannot wait for latecomers, and no refunds will be issued. So please make sure to arrive in time. Unfortunately, even if you contact us, we cannot wait for you. Kyoto Station is large. Please arrive with plenty of time to spare and check the meeting place in advance at Kyoto station. If you get lost at Kyoto Station, ask the station staff where the central exit (not the Shinkansen central exit) is. It's not Shinkansen Central Ticket Gate.
- •Children under 7 years old are not allowed to participate.
