2. White Underwear
(We will lend you a white robe, and basically we wear white underwear under the robe. Colored underwear is allowed if you do not have white one. The robe will be wet and seen through a little, so if you do not like it, it is also allowed to wear a swimming suit under the robe instead of underwear.)

4. Fee
(5,000 yen to the instructor and 1,000 yen to the administration of the waterfall. If you join with your children in elementary school, the children will get a 5,000 yen discount.)
