	I have made an enquiry/booking but I have not received a response from Gankoyama yet. What should I do?

	We try to respond to our customers' e-mails as quickly as we can. Customers are also automatically sent an notification e-mail whenever they make a booking/enquiry with us. If you have not received that kind of e-mail yet, we suggest you check your junk mail folder. If it is not in that folder, there was probably an error or some other problem with your e-mail address so you will need to make a new booking/enquiry.

	Can I join a tour by myself?

	Quite a few of our visitors come by themselves, so plese feel free to come alone. N.B. Individuals can not take part in the family tours.

	What should I wear at Gankoyama?

	We recommend you bring long pants and long sleeved shirts because there might be mosquitoes during summer. Sneakers or work boots are good footwear for Gankoyama. We also recommend you bring one complete extra change of clothes in addition to what you plan on bringing, especially in the rainy season and in summer. Some people may get a bit muddy/dirty whilst taking part in the activities, especially kids. Your clothes may also get a bit smoky from being around the camp fire.
