This tour is an adventure tour that combines the mysterious world of Shugendo with the thrill of cave exploration. There are many caves and waterfalls in the Yoshino region of Nara Prefecture, and it has long been considered a sacred place for people who practice asceticism in the mountains. You can experience the beauty of nature and the depth of history by visiting the waterfalls and caves where ancient ascetics practiced. In particular, by exploring inside a cave, you can experience the sensation of entering the womb of the earth with all five senses, touch the mysteries of nature, and refresh your mind and body while being surrounded by a ``silent and mysterious'' atmosphere. **What is Shugendo? **Shugendo is a unique religious culture that incorporates elements of Buddhism and Shintoism into traditional Japanese ascetic practices, and values a sense of unity with nature. Mountains are considered sacred places, and asceticism is carried out in nature. Ascetics are called ``Yamabushi'' and aim for spiritual growth through meditation, waterfall training (asceticism where you are hit by a waterfall), asceticism in caves, etc. Shugendo, born from gratitude for being alive amidst the blessings of nature, is based on the idea that one can be reborn once again through rigorous training in nature. Caves have also been used as training sites. 1. **Arrival at Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base and Briefing**: - After arriving at Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base, you will receive a briefing on the tour overview, safety, and the cultural significance of the places you will visit. 2. **Introduction to Dragonfly Falls Hike**: - Visit Dragonfly Falls, which was also a training site for Shugendo, located a one-minute drive from Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base.

Since the main focus is on children, there will be no long canoeing or trekking. Paddle a canoe while observing the flora and fauna unique to the subtropics, or jump into a waterfall basin with a pounding heart... If you feel the breath of nature with your whole body, it will be a special experience that is different from anything else. Depending on the tide, you can also observe the tidal flats. Chase the southern kometsu crab, observe the silly expression of the southern mudskipper, and visit the inhabitants of the tidal flats. <Entry restrictions will be fully implemented from March 1, 2025> Pinaisara Falls and Sangara Falls are designated as "specific natural tourism resources" on Iriomote Island, where the natural environment needs to be protected in particular. In addition to rules and manners for use, entry restriction fields have daily entry limits and conditions for entry. In order to use them, tours after March 1, 2025 must be completed in advance and approval for entry must be obtained from the Taketomi Town Mayor.

先日は大変お世話になりました。 アクティブな親と5歳になりたての幼児のため、西表堪能したい気持ちと子供がついていけるかの不安があってプランを決めかねていましたが、風車さんのこちらのプランを見つけて即決でお願いさせていただきました。 当日はさらにラッキーなことに我が家だけで催行していただき、子供の体調やトイレなど気遣っていただきつつ、適度な休憩も取りつつ、無事に体験を終えることができました。 道中の危ない箇所や生き物のご案内もきめ細かで大変ありがたかったです。 また機会があればぜひお願いしたいです。 素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました!

At Mitsuishi Fudoson, a traditional esoteric Buddhist temple that worships the waterfall where Kobo Daishi trained at the age of 21, we will practice rituals at the goma and make our wishes come true. The prayer priest is Sato Myosen (representative of the Kishu Koyasan Yokofue Association), a nun who lives in Mt. Koya. After the Goma prayer, if the weather is good, you can visit the waterfall and achieve a unique purification. Although you can apply for the Goma prayer experience alone, we recommend visiting in a group.
