A class of Riemannian metrics \(G\), generalizing the classical Sasaki metric, is considered on the slit tangent bundle \(TM_0\) of a Finsler manifold \((M, F)\) and its geometry is characterized in terms of Finsler quantities. A main result is Theorem 5: The Finsler manifold \((M, F)\) is Landsberg if and only if the vertical foliation is totally geodesic in \((TM_0, G)\).
