Common questions from first-timers. For anything not covered here, DM us on Instagram or email support@ensembles.ai.

JoiningJoining

BookingBooking & payment

The app is easiest, but you can also book via "Book without the app (guest)" on each event page. Perks like the local discount, archive photos and future discounts are for app bookings only.

Online payment is by credit card only — for both app and guest bookings.

It depends on the event. Please check each event's booking page for details.

A discount offered in gratitude to those who have cared for this region. Higashikawa residents pay half the regular price; residents of nearby areas (Kamikawa Subprefecture, excluding Higashikawa) get 30% off. Register your "Residence" under Profile in the app and it applies automatically when you book.

On the dayOn the day

Most events go ahead in the rain. Please bring rain gear and warm layers. Events may be cancelled if a weather warning is issued; in that case you'll get a full refund and we'll let you know by email.

Basically just comfortable clothes and something to drink — we provide all the tools. Mountain experiences have an equipment list on each event page. Bring warm layers and rain gear even in summer.

We'll email you a map after you book.
