※※※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. Consultation is required※※※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, surrounded by the autumn yellow leaves of the forest, by walking along the Shugendo trail to the hall. You can view the hall from the remote worship site at the foot of the mountain, but you should walk the Shugendo trail with all your heart and soul, and purify yourself of the impurities of the Six Senses Cleansing, to worship at the hall up close. To worship at the hall up close, you will have to walk the steep Shugendo trail, climbing tree roots, climbing chains, and walking through rocky mountains, even though it is a short distance. You will have to go back and forth on the same path, but it is also dangerous when descending. Also, you must have at least two people to enter the mountain, so if you are traveling alone or doing solo activities, you will have to go with someone. In order to protect the natural environment and maintain Shugendo, trekking poles and other walking sticks are not allowed. A local guide will accompany you on the strict Shugendo experience, which can be dangerous, so you can experience Shugendo safely and with peace of mind. If you feel that you cannot go alone, please use a guide as a travel companion or Shugendo leader. *Mt. Mitoku itself is a mountain with an elevation of 899m, but the area where the Nageire Hall is located is a low mountain at an elevation of 400m. We do not recommend going to 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.

This is a plan that includes a taxi meeting at Takehara Station. The tour runs every Tuesday and Wednesday. After arriving at Chozenji Temple grounds, you will be welcomed with a Nembutsu prayer and a welcome drink by the chief priest, and then tour the Ishiyama Battle Memorial Hall within the grounds with commentary from the chief priest. Here, the flag of the Ishiyama Battle Army and the list of those killed in battle at Fort Amagasaki during the Battle of Ishiyama are preserved. This flag was used during the ``Battle of Ishiyama'' (1570-1580), a battle between Oda Nobunaga and his followers at Honganji Temple.At the request of the third chief priest Enzai, his followers, mainly members of the Fujiwara clan, organized Kihata-gumi, and along with the Mori army, they formed the Kihata-gumi. After setting sail and going to support Ishiyama, we will enjoy copying sutras in a vault overlooking a Japanese garden with the motif of ``heart.''

We recommend a free stroll through the Takehara Old Townscape Preservation District. Takehara City (Hiroshima Prefecture) Townscape Preservation District, known as the Japan Heritage ``Takehara Old Townscape Preservation District'' and ``Aki's Little Kyoto'', has been designated as one of the top 100 cityscapes, and was also designated as a Japan Heritage Site in 2019. Ta. Takehara is said to have first been cultivated as a manor land for Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto during the Heian period under the Private Property Law of Konta Eiten. During the Muromachi period, Mori Motonari's third son Takakage (who was adopted by the Kobayakawa family and became Takakage Kobayakawa) spent his childhood there. Takakage was one of the people who received the ``Three Arrows' teachings'' from Motonari and supported the Mori clan system. Later, in the late Edo period, it developed through salt fields and sake brewing, and it is said that it boasted an 80% share of Hiroshima prefecture's salt production at the time. There are three sake breweries: Taketsuru Sake Brewery, Fujii Sake Brewery, and Nakao Jozo. Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka Whiskey, known as the ``father of Japanese whisky,'' is from Takehara. Taketsuru Sake Brewery, Masataka's birthplace, still operates in the townscape preservation district to this day. Around this time when salt and sake were developing, Rai Sanyo, a Confucian scholar and author of ``Japanese Foreign History,'' which had a great influence on the patriots at the end of the Edo period, was active. The former home of Sanyo's grandfather, Kiyoshi Yoriyoshi, is located in the townscape preservation district. (Excerpt from the Japan Historical Travel Association) At the annual Takehara Longing Road, the town is beautifully illuminated with candlelight and bamboo lanterns set in the townscape preservation district. The atmosphere of the old house leaking through the lattice door is also very atmospheric, giving you the illusion of having traveled back in time.
