[Tottori Prefecture/Mt. Mitoku] Only for one person! Let's visit Japan's most dangerous national treasure, Mt. Mitoku Nageire-do, and experience Shugendo in autumn colors.

The National Treasure Nageire Hall, located on Mt. Mitoku in Misasa Town, Tottori Prefecture, is said to be the most dangerous national treasure in Japan. Let's walk along the Shugendo path to Nageire-do, surrounded by a forest of autumn leaves, and go to worship. You can view Nageire-do from the distance worship place from the foot of the mountain, but let's walk Shugendo with all our heart and soul, purify ourselves of the impurities of the six roots, and visit Nageire-do up close. To visit Nageire-do up close, it is a short distance, but it involves walking along the steep Shugendo path, which involves climbing tree roots, climbing chains, and climbing rocky mountains. You will have to go back and forth on the same route, but descending the mountain is also dangerous. Also, only two or more people can enter the mountain, so if you are traveling alone, you will need to go with someone. In order to protect the natural environment and maintain Shugendo, it is not possible to enter using walking sticks such as trekking poles. By having a local guide accompany you through the difficult and dangerous Shugendo experience, you can experience Shugendo safely and with peace of mind. Please use it as a travel companion for those who are unable to go alone, or as a companion for Shugendo.

Mt. Mitoku/Nageredo is a steep mountain ascetic practice, so there are rules that prohibit you from climbing alone. I have seen many people who came without knowing about the mountain and left disappointed at the reception desk. It's frustrating to come all the way and still not be able to climb a mountain. In such a case, please read the guide who can guide you through Shugendo with safety and security first!

Mt. Mitoku/Nageire-do will be closed for the winter from December to March, and will be closed from April next year. We recommend visiting until November 30th, when the yellow leaves are in full bloom. Of course, the spring cherry blossoms, misasa town flowers, rhododendron season, and fresh greenery are also recommended!

The Shugendo trail to Nageire-do is such that it is impossible to enter the mountain in rainy weather. Shugendo is a dangerous practice. (For this reason, we ask those traveling far away to prepare a backup schedule and allow plenty of time for their trip.)Depending on the age and physical strength of the customer, we may require you to wear a helmet or use ropes to ensure your safety. By having a guide accompany you, you can experience Shugendo with safety first to avoid injury.
