Benefits of Hiring a “Gōriki” as Your Guide
The title of “Gōriki” has been passed down orally. Only those whom the union leader has recognized as “trustworthy enough to be entrusted with the strength” can become a Gōriki.
“Gōriki” are part of the customer service industry. Carrying luggage is only a means to an end.
The most important thing is for our customers to descend the mountain safely. The next most important is for our guests to achieve their goals. As people who have lived at the foot of Mount Ontake, we will do our utmost to support you. In addition, you can enjoy local stories that only a Gōriki living at the foot of the mountain can share—stories that other guides cannot.
