[Tottori Prefecture, Mt. Mitoku] Limited to one person! Experience the Shugendo path and worship at the most dangerous national treasure in Japan, Mt. Mitoku Nageiredo Hall

※※※Due to the risk of heat stroke, guided tours of the Nageire-do Hall, which is a low mountain in midsummer, are suspended from late July to early September. Please consult with us. Please answer the following questions when applying※※※The National Treasure Nageire-do Hall is located on Mt. Mitoku in Misasa Town, Tottori Prefecture, and is known as the most dangerous national treasure in Japan. Come and worship at the hall by walking along the Shugendo trail, surrounded by the autumn yellow leaves of the forest. You can view the hall from the worship site at the foot of the mountain, but you should walk the Shugendo trail with all your heart and soul, purifying yourself of the impurities of the six senses, and go to worship at the hall up close. To worship at the hall up close, you will have to walk a short distance, but you will have to walk along the steep Shugendo trail, climbing tree roots, climbing chains, and walking along rocky mountains. You will have to go back and forth along the same path, but it is also dangerous when descending. Also, you need at least two people to enter the mountain, so if you are traveling alone or doing solo activities, you will need to go with someone. In order to protect the natural environment and maintain Shugendo, you cannot enter the mountain using trekking poles or other walking sticks. A local guide will accompany you, so you can experience the dangerous and strict Shugendo safely and with peace of mind. If you feel that you cannot go alone, please use a Shugendo guide as a travel companion. *Mt. Mitoku itself is a mountain with an altitude of 899m, but the place where the Nageire Hall is located is a low mountain at an altitude of 400m. In midsummer, low mountains are not recommended because the temperature is as high as a town on the plains and there is a high risk of heatstroke. There are no tours from late July to early September. Please consult with us.

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 and Nageiredo are closed for the winter from December to March, and will reopen in April of next year. We recommend visiting from November 6th to November 30th, when the yellow leaves are at their best. Of course, we also recommend the spring cherry blossoms, the flower of Misasa Town, the rhododendron season, and the season of fresh greenery (April to May)! Mt. Mitoku itself is a mountain with an elevation of 899m, but the area where Nageiredo is located is a low mountain at an elevation of 400m. We do not recommend low mountains in midsummer, as the temperature is as high as in a town on the plains, and there is a high risk of heatstroke. We do not operate tours from late July to early September. Please inquire.

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.
