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.

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.

[Greetings to guests] Kumano, the land of rebirth, the holy land of rebirth. By visiting these beautiful yet profound sacred sites and by interacting with the locals, you can look back, realize, and reset yourself. Shingu has an energetic, intense energy to the town itself. That power is also reflected in the Oto Matsuri, a fire festival, and the Mifune Matsuri, an annual festival at Hayatama Taisha Shrine. Touching that high Ki will change your life. In advance, choose the place you want to go and the dragon god you want to meet, and make a plan according to your dreams and wishes. Be objective in your interactions and clarify what you want. The day started after visiting Kamikura Shrine. Afterwards, head to the selected sacred place. By having a resurrection experience that you can feel with your five senses, it first affects your body. For example, touch the cold water of a waterfall and drink it. The waves of holy water circulate and purify the body. “Yummy!” you will exclaim. Since the mind and body are closely connected, the mind opens up in tune with the vibration. Words will come out by receiving aroma & color therapy, personal color diagnosis, counseling, etc. at the sacred place. Then your worries will be sorted out, and you will be freed from the obsessions you made in your head. Stand barefoot on the ground and ground. By connecting with Kumano and the earth, excess electricity and unnecessary emotions that have accumulated in the body will flow, power charging, and the heart will be activated. When my soul is shaken, why do I cry, and I feel happy and want to dance or sing, so I will express it without restraint. Reviving to return to your original self. I will also tell you a message from the dragon god.
