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.

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.

Mount Koya, which spreads out in a mountain basin surrounded by peaks at an altitude of about 1,000m, is a sacred place of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai 1,200 years ago. This plan involves climbing together to the top of Benten-dake, the watershed of Mount Koya, and performing a purification and purification prayer in front of the shrine.

去る11月の連休に利用した家族3人組です。元々は伊勢参りがメインだったのですが、ただ三重県往復ではつまんないという家族の強い希望があり、帰りの観光地として奈良県を選んだのですが、このバギーツアーを息子が見つけ、あっという間に決めてしまいました。とはいうものの、低い速度とはいえ、変速機能を持ったバギーを運転するのは揃って初めてだったので色々と不安がありました。置いてけぼりをくわないだろうか?また道を迷ったりしないだろうか?一番心配だったのがルート沿線の住民にこちらの慣れない運転で迷惑かけないだろうかと。。。。蓋を開けたらそれらの不安はたちまち消え去りました。なぜならガイドさんの徹底的な安全教育と未熟な運転に根気よく接してくれたのだから。おかげでツアー終盤には余裕で楽しむ事が出来ました。途中年配の団体客から羨望の目で見られた時なんかはちょっと優越した気分でした。何よりも安全第一をモットーとして接してくれたガイドさんには感謝しきれません。また、内容も古くて真新しい印象を受けました。法隆寺よりも法輪寺や法起寺の方に新しい魅力を感じましたから。何から何まで、心に残るツアーとなりました。本当にありがとうございました。
