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. We will provide face towels. Please spend some time relaxing and soothing your tired body in the hot spring. 9. **Pick-up and disbandment**:

We will experience scavenging in a small river about 2km upstream from Akiya Coast, but it is shallow and has clean water. Since the rocks are exposed in places, it is slippery, so marine shoes are essential for this tour. (Free rental of idiot boots from autumn to spring) We plan to head upstream for about 1.5 hours in a swimsuit and marine shoes while being explained about the creatures. We plan to search for river crabs and mitten crabs, mainly scavenger goby, flat shrimp, and snake black dragonfly larvae in the rock river. The meeting place is Akiya bus stop, and there is a parking lot nearby, but it is expected to be crowded, so we recommend coming by train and bus. We look forward to your participation. What to bring: Marine shoes (from the end of March to October), swimsuit, rash guard, spats, drinks, hat, rucksack, plastic case for taking home + bubble (battery-powered oxygen supply machine) What you need to prepare: Idiot boots (from November to mid-March), net, storage bucket That's all.

This tour recruits a limited number of people every month, so first come, first served! And only for students! Reservations are for 3 people or more, and are recommended for those who come to play with friends during spring break or summer vacation! This plan was created to support the creation of memories for students who come to Amami Oshima. Why not try kayaking in the mangroves to make memories with your friends, such as on a graduation trip? You can land deep in the intricate jungle and on vast tidal flats that you cannot go on group tours!・Schedule ① Meet at Roadside Station Mangrove Park ② Arrival at the canoe boarding area, preparation lecture (15 minutes) We will explain how to row and precautions. ③Canoe tour (100 minutes) Let's row a canoe and explore the mangroves! The jungle, tree tunnels, tidal flats, and swarms of crabs are all extraordinary experiences. ⑤ Mangrove Park disbanded I hope you have the best memories of your trip.・About the tides Since mangroves are close to the ocean, the tides have a big effect on their location. This is a tour where you can row a canoe at both high and low tides. However, when the tide is high, the canoe travels through the channels inside the mangroves, and when the tide is low, the tidal flats appear, so they land on the tidal flats. If you have a preference, please let us know when making your reservation.・About tour safety The guide for this tour will be an instructor who has taken a kayak training program. We will provide appropriate lectures and advice to customers who are new to kayaking, and conduct tours in accordance with safety standards.・Others: This tour is not a private tour, and in some cases we may guide two groups at the same time. If you would like to have a private tour, you can choose this as an option.

Amami Oshima was registered as a World Natural Heritage Site in 2021. As the reason for its registration is ``biodiversity,'' this island has many unique flora and fauna. Yuwandake is the most important place where many endemic species live. There are two routes to climb Mt. Yuwandake, but on this tour, you will walk up the wooden stairs from the 9th parking lot to the observation deck and shrine near the top. It's not a mountain trail, so it's easy to walk, and you can observe plants unique to Mt. Yuwandake along the way. (Anyone who has no problem walking or going up and down stairs in daily life can participate. The walk will take about 30 minutes each way.) On a clear day, you can see a wide view of Amami Oshima from the observation deck. However, as the name ``cloud forest'' suggests, Mt. Yuwandake has a unique environment where clouds and fog gather throughout the year, and there is a lot of rain. Therefore, if you're lucky you can see the view from the observation deck, but for me (the guide), the real view is on rainy days. We want you to enjoy this natural environment! After Mt. Yuwandake, we will stop at Materia Falls to take commemorative photos and have tea time. Date: Meet at Naze Sports Park in Amami City or pick up at hotel ↓ Transfer to Mt. Yuwandake (travel time varies depending on the pick-up location) Arrival at Mt. Yuwandake parking lot ↓ Arrive at Nature Walk Observation Deck/Shrine while observing flora and fauna ↓ Arrival at Shimoyama parking lot ↓ Transfer 15 minutes Materia Falls ↓ Arrive at hotel on the way back
