After meeting at the station, we will pass through a secluded valley and head for the waterfall. It is a place full of a sense of secludedness that will make you exclaim, "What!? Is this Tokyo??". ● What is waterfall training? It is an ancient Japanese concept that means "purifying the mind and body with water." Historically, it is said to have been performed since the Nara period, and was a purification ritual before ascetic training began. It seems that it was also sometimes held as a ritual to pray for rain or a good harvest. In this event, there will be no difficult ritualistic manners or actions, and you will be able to splash under the waterfall in any way you like. Dress code is free. Snorkels, swim rings and other play equipment will be provided, so you can look for fish and crabs, float on the water's surface and have fun playing in the water. ● BBQ with local ingredients such as wild game After exploring the limestone cave and working up an appetite by going to the waterfall, it's time for a BBQ.
