In addition to these districts, there were also 12 churches representing various ethnicities and religions.

Visiting Mongolia was an absolute dream come true! The ancient ruins are truly mesmerizing, and the views are breathtaking.

Yuichiro Okamura

Thank you very much for your support towards climbing Otgontenger this time.

Being able to communicate in Japanese for everything from email exchanges during the preparation stage to on-site follow-up was really helpful for me, as I don't have any language skills.

During the climb, the two young guides supported me as I was about to give up due to the blizzard and snow walls, and successfully guided me to the summit. I was surprised to hear that the company has only been established for a few years. I pray that it will continue to prosper.

Please take me somewhere else.

Hyoudou Takafumi

I am very grateful to the four of you for giving me your support.

The starry sky was beautiful, and the mountains, rivers, and flowers were beautiful.

I felt like I was able to climb a mountain for the first time in a while.

Also, I am very satisfied with the "hospitality" of the staff, including Mr. Uruka.

However, as we get older, we often forget things, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your continued support.

Thank you very much.
