Highlights
- Mt. Inunaki - 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. We hike up this mountain to the temple. About 35 minutes bus transportation from Izumisano station to Mt. Inunaki and its return transportation is included in the tour duration.
- Shipporyuji Temple - Stone pillars are lined up on both sides of the approach, and red and black flags are erected. It is a Shugendo-style temple, with many shrines and Buddhist statues. The syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism is evident, with the Hotei statue visible behind the stone torii gate. The Inunaki River flows through the mountains, and there are seven waterfalls and places to practice.
- Fudoguchikan - You can experience bathing in Inunaki Hot spring onsen. Choose between two types of hot spring pools.

Beautiful mountain scenery and ryokan/onsen experience - Friendly and knowledgeable guide, learnt a lot about the history and importance of the mountain. Beautiful scenery with running stream and waterfalls throughout. Relaxing afternoon spent in private room at ryokan. Generous and delicious lunch and got to experience onsen bath with view out over mountain stream. Highly recommend, only a short trip from Osaka.

Wonderful tour! - It was a beautiful hike! Not bad at all, about an hour or so. Was very doable! Then had an 11 course meal after followed with the private onsen. Such a nice experience! Yoshimoto, Masa, and Ken were all very nice and helpful!
