    I was a little apprehensive at first because I'm in my 50s and don't usually get a decent workout, but I'm really glad I participated! It was a two-and-a-half-hour tour, but it was so much fun that it went by quickly.
    There was a considerable difference in elevation on the way, but there were no dangerous places, and the route was safe and safe. I was able to learn a lot while walking through the beautiful scenery unique to Okinawa and the rare plants and creatures of the subtropics.
    In particular, the tour guide, Mr. Ishii, was wonderful, always telling fun stories so that we would not get bored, and he also incorporated quizzes along the way. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy it with a smile on my face from beginning to end. In terms of physical fitness, I was not too tired, and I felt a sense of accomplishment moderately.
    Thank you very much, Mr. Ishii! It is a tour that I will definitely want to participate in again next time.
