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**:

Hello! This is SHINKAI Island Tours. [Plan Description] The appeal of the night snorkel tour is that it is easier to discover rare creatures at night than during the day, such as sea turtles, octopuses, sea urchins, starfish, and moray eels. Creatures that hide in holes or in the sand during the day become active at night and can even be seen eating. Creatures that are active during the day go to sleep at night. Fish don't have eyelids, so you can't tell when they're sleeping, but even fish that normally run away when you get close become so sluggish that you can touch them. Different fish sleep in different ways, adding seaweed to keep them from drifting away, putting a membrane around their body, or changing color, so try to observe their different appearance from the daytime. Staff will select an entry point depending on the conditions of the day and start the night snorkel tour. [Plan Schedule] 1. Meet at SOLAIZ Ishigaki Island 30 minutes before sunset 2. Check the size of fins, mask, and snorkel 3. Move to the point 4. Warm-up, safety check, precautions 5. Night snorkel tour begins 6. Ends in about 1 hour tour 7. Shower, change of clothes 8. End of tour [Safe and secure tour] The guide staff are local fishermen who do night diving and are night sea professionals. In addition to managing the safety of our customers, we will decide whether to hold the tour by assessing the conditions on the day of the activity. Children are welcome to join us. In addition, we will lend you safety equipment free of charge when you join the tour. [What to bring] 〇Long sleeves, long pants, top and bottom rash guard 〇Change of clothes, towel 〇Drinks

Just watching the cumulonimbus clouds moving on the wind and the plane trails flying high into the sky makes you feel the majesty of nature.

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.

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.

Nokogiriyama is known as a lesser known mountain on the Boso Peninsula. With its jagged ridgeline resembling the teeth of a saw, and the remains of the quarry where Boso stone was quarried by the stone-cutting industry until the Showa era, it looks like an abandoned building, and this otherworldly space that appears in the middle of nature has become popular. On this tour, you will pass through the streets of Kanaya, which once flourished as a stone-cutting industry, and climb the "Sharikko Road," a road that once transported quarried stone, with a guide. While enjoying the climb, which is low above sea level but has a large elevation difference, you will feel the breath of the craftsmen of the time, and trace the history of how Boso stone supported Japan's modernization and declined over time.

Nokogiriyama is known as a low-profile mountain on the Boso Peninsula. On its southern side is the grounds of Nippon-ji Temple, the imperial temple of Emperor Shomu, which will celebrate its 1,300th anniversary in 2025. This plan is a half-day tour to experience the charms of Nokogiriyama Nippon-ji Temple, starting from JR Yasuda Station, walking along the main approach to the temple and climbing Nokogiriyama from the mountain gate. Once inside the Nippon-ji Temple grounds, you can enjoy the mystical atmosphere of the tallest Buddha statue in Japan (as a seated statue and rock-carved Buddha), as well as the 1,500 arhat statues arranged on the mountainside. Climb the stairs to the top of the mountain, pass by the famous photo spots "Hell Peek" and "Hyakushaku Kannon", and then use the ropeway to return down the mountain.
