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.

This is a highly recommended plan guided by a group of professional guides who won the Special Award (Minister of the Environment Award) at the 2018 Japan Ecotourism Awards. In Hiruzen Shitao, Maniwa City, there is Yamanori Valley, a spectacular place that even locals don't set foot in. River trekking while being splashed by the spray of successive waterfalls is something only experienced people can experience. The experienced members of the Hiruzen Tour Desk will confidently guide you through this hidden spot where 20 to 30 waterfalls of various sizes are lined up. The course is basically for intermediate and above level hikers, but we will provide careful guidance so that beginners can also participate with confidence.
今回は娘の強い希望で参加しましたが、娘はもちろん、最初は道連れ参加のつもりの自分まで心底楽しめました! ガイドの皆さんにはとても親切にご対応をいただき、安心して楽しむことができました。ありがとうございました。 また、様々なトライを繰り返すうちに、参加者同士も一体感というか一緒に楽しめている感があって、この点もとても良かったです。 また是非参加したいと思います。

A private trekking tour with a guide around the sights of Mt. Nokogiri, a lesser-known mountain on the Boso Peninsula. This is a special tour that allows you to enjoy the sights of Mt. Nokogiri, a unique mountain where the remains of the stone-cutting industry that supported the region and the Buddhist world of Nihon-ji Temple are back to back, all in one day! We start by walking through the streets of Kanaya, which flourished as a stone-cutting industry from the Edo period to the Showa period, and then head to the Nokogiriyama Ropeway Station. After entering the grounds of Nihon-ji Temple and worshiping the "Hyakushaku Kannon," we trace the scenery and history of the remains of the quarry, which once flourished as a stone-cutting industry and now stands like an ancient ruin. After that, we proceed while listening to the guide's explanations about the sights such as the famous photo spots "Peeking into Hell" and "1,500 Arhats," and the tallest "Great Buddha" in Japan (as a seated statue and rock-carved Buddha), and finally descend the mountain by ropeway and disband. *There will be a lunch break along the way.
There is much to enjoy: natural landscapes, human interaction with the environment, religious customs, flora and fauna, history, and much more. Interesting anecdotes and views as well as a few scary moments and many photo opportunities are part of the enjoyment factor. The guide's English was fine and she was knowledgeable enough about each topic to keep the participants interested. She was attentive to my needs and accommodating to my humor.
