Plan description

Long ago, Japanese people saw gods in nature. Until the introduction of Buddhism approximately 1,500 years ago, the Japanese believed that eight million gods resided within nature and worshipped it. They believed that gods resided in the sea, rivers, mountains, rocks, trees, natural phenomena such as rain and wind, and even in each land. Nature was both an object of awe and awe, but also a source of blessings, inspiring respect and awe. The idea of "living with nature" and "being in harmony with nature" formed the foundation of Japanese spirituality and has been passed down to the present day. The Historical Mystery Trail Walk - Kibi no Nakayama Edition - is a tour that immerses you in the history and nature of Kibi no Nakayama, where numerous traces of ancient people's nature worship remain. Meet at Kibitsuhiko Shrine and enjoy a guided, approximately four-hour trail walk. Along the way, you'll traverse Kibi no Nakayama, stopping for lunch and a coffee break. The tour is limited to small groups of 3-8 people. The itinerary may change depending on the JR timetable, season, and weather, so we will inform you of the exact itinerary when you contact us. This is a safe and fulfilling tour recommended for history buffs, nature lovers, and those who want to learn more about Japanese spirituality and animism. ~Experience Schedule~ 10:00 Visit to Kibitsuhiko Shrine 10:30 Warm-up/Kibi no Nakayama Trail Walk *Lunch break included 14:00 Disband at Kibitsuhiko Shrine
