About the Activity

Step into the timeless embrace of Mt. Inunaki, where the ancient Goma Prayer ignites a sacred fire that dances with life’s essence. Here, amidst the whispers of the past, you’ll witness a ritual that has warmed the hearts of pilgrims for centuries. Arrive early at the temple’s main hall, a sanctuary of peace, and settle into the stillness. The silence is not empty—it’s full of answers, readying your spirit for the transformative power of the Goma Prayer, available at your beck and call. As the ceremony concludes, let the journey take you to the Fudouguchi-Kan, an Onsen Ryokan cradled by the mountain’s base. There, the Inunaki hot springs await to envelop you in their healing waters, a tranquil epilogue to your day of spiritual awakening. Embark on a voyage to Japan, a land where the echoes of tradition blend seamlessly with the calm of nature. Embrace the mystical, embrace the divine. Let this be an adventure that stirs the soul, crafted for those who seek the extraordinary.

Travel Itinerary

Locations in the itinerary

This tour does not include bus fare. Please purchase a 1-day free pass when you board the bus. Mt. Inunaki is regarded as one of the oldest sacred mountains in Japan. According to recent historical research and advances in the academic study of Shugen-do, Mt. Inunaki is now considered the birthplace of Shugen-do. Goma is a ritual practice in Shingon Buddhism, a form of esoteric Japanese Buddhism. Purpose: Goma is performed to purify negative karma, remove obstacles, and fulfill wishes. Setting: The ritual takes place in front of a sacred fire, often outdoors or in a temple. Process: Participants write their wishes on wooden sticks called Gomaki. These sticks, along with other offerings like rice, incense, herbs, and oils, are placed in the fire. The fire represents the wisdom of the deity Fudo Myoo (Acala), who burns away impurities. Participants recite mantras and prayers while the fire burns. 1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

Immerse yourself in the serene embrace of Inunaki Hot Springs, where the healing powers of nature rejuvenate your spirit. There are two exquisite hot spring pools: bask in the open-air bath, caressed by the gentle murmur of the mountain stream, and indulge in the cozy seclusion of the indoor large bath. After an invigorating mountain trek and waterfall meditation, find solace in a moment of profound tranquility. This is not just a retreat; it’s a return to the essence of well-being, beckoning travelers from afar to partake in its timeless allure.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location
