This is a rare opportunity to spend a night in a temple that is not set up for tourists. The temple is still operating as it did 700 years ago performing multiple daily ceremonies. Unlike typical tourist temples, you will have an opportunity to see everything on the inside and get to see how full time monks live in Japan. This is a temple only reachable by climbing the mountain, and there are many Japanese Buddhist practioners who climb this as a pilgrimage route, so this is a genuine experience.

What makes this tour unique is its blend of cultural immersion and culinary excellence. From the once-in-a-lifetime chance to attend the Shimotsuki Festival with locals to savoring one of the region’s finest winter gibier dinners, every moment is designed to be truly unforgettable.
