We will provide you with an electric bicycle. You can easily ride uphill and over long distances. Our experienced guides will show you the back roads and unknown history that are unique to bicycles. ~Experience flow~ ① Meet and check in Check in at E-Charity Naha Kokusai-dori Main Store Pick up your electric bicycle and receive a brief explanation that anyone can enjoy riding safely! ② Tour starts / Shuri You can see Kannon Bodhisattva, the guardian deity of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and beautiful sculptures and decorations. The bright vermilion temple overlooks the Shuri cityscape. You will pass through the local area of ​​Naha where a few traditional houses remain. When you arrive at the temple, which has been conveying Okinawan Buddhism for over 500 years, you will be greeted by the ancient gate and a large banyan tree. It is a powerful gate that symbolizes Okinawa. You can take a photo with your bicycle in front of the gate, which has a striking vermilion color and a well-balanced design. At the temple, which is visited by many worshippers who make pilgrimages while giving thanks for this life, such as praying for health and pregnancy, you will be captivated by the beauty of the bright red daruma dolls and torii gates. After crossing the main street and passing under the monorail that runs through the air, you will suddenly arrive at a temple with a sacred atmosphere. Rebuilt after the war, a traditional Japanese Jizo statue stands next to a relatively new building with a warm atmosphere. As you enter the nostalgic road that can only be accessed by bicycle, the scent of rice malt fills the air. The tiled factory surrounded by stone walls that survived the war makes you feel as if you have traveled back in time. This miraculous spring water was discovered when waterfowl were noticed gathering there from the deep forest. You can feel the history in the water that continues to flow without stopping. ③Omoromachi This place, which became a fierce battlefield, was once a small hill from which you could see all the way to the Kerama Islands, but now it is surrounded by buildings and apartments and quietly tells the history of the war. You can feel the fusion of the past and the present. ④Asato I ride my bicycle down the hill comfortably. The place where the kings of the Ryukyu Kingdom were enshrined is filled with pure air. It is now a park, but the stone gate and the banyan tree stretching straight up into the sky give the impression that this was once a country called the Ryukyu Kingdom. ⑤ Return your bicycle and the tour ends. After that, enjoy the city of Naha on your own.

Hinohara Village is the only village on land in Tokyo. Deep inside the village, on a ridge well over 700m above sea level, lies the old house "Kyu Kobayashi Family Residence". Built in the mid-Edo period (more than 320 years ago), this mountain house is literally an "old house in the sky". This tour, which takes you there by mountain monorail that goes straight up a super steep slope of nearly 45 degrees, is an extremely extraordinary experience that will leave a deep impression on your memory, both geographically and historically, as well as physically. The tour meets at the Tokyo Back Mountain Base in front of JR Musashi-Itsukaichi Station, and includes transportation to the site by private car. *Hinohara Village has been designated as a national ecotourism promotion area, and as an exception, transportation to the ecotour site by car is permitted. (Your accompanying guide, Jinken, is a certified eco-tour guide for Hinode Village.) For lunch, you will be served at the Kobayashi Family House, with a lunchbox of light snacks (Cuban sandwiches) made specially for the Tokyo Urayama Base, and coffee brewed with water that participants themselves will have drawn from a special spring in the area. After experiencing the old mountain house, we will move on to another highlight of the day. We will stop at Kanoto Rock, a power spot known only to those in the know, and walk along the valley using chains. Here, too, you can experience a part of the local mountain worship and lifestyle culture. On the way back, we will cross a suspension bridge over the valley just beyond the Akigawa River from the village and enjoy a foot bath at a popular local hot spring. Once your feet are warm, we will head to a local cafe renovated from an old house, recommended by our guide (Jinken). We will take a break at CAFE POUND, the most popular cafe in the area, renovated from a Showa-era house by the owner himself. A private car will pick you up from the station, and you will be accompanied by a Hinode Village certified eco-tour guide. It will be a very fulfilling day where you can experience the lifestyle and culture of a mountain village. This is a premium tour with a capacity of only 6 people.

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. Here, you will experience the training of Shugendo and how to face nature, including waterfalls. 3. **Lunch Break**: Have lunch at the park below Dragonfly Falls 4. **Preparing for Expedition**: - Return to Yoiyoi Nishikawa Base and prepare your exploration gear. Once you are ready, you will drive in your guide's car for about 15 minutes to the parking lot near the cave. 5. **Start of cave exploration**: - After arriving at the parking lot, the cave exploration will begin. The exploration begins by searching for the entrance of the cave. Please discover the cave with your own hands. In order to enjoy the cave exploration empty-handed, your luggage will be left in the car and your guide will take care of your valuables other than your smartphone. 6. **Cave exploration**:7. **Response after cave exploration**: - Return to the same parking lot and change from your dirty equipment. 8. **Hot spring bath**: - After the cave exploration, you can enjoy a hot spring bath.
