English

Meet a Nationally licensed English speaking guide in Tokyo, and move to Northern part of Ibaraki Prefecture in a chartered private car.

At Oiwa shrine, a shrine maiden (Miko) will explain about the shrine premises. Enjoy a 2-hour mountain hiking up to the top of Mt. Oiwa. With 188 shinto gods and goddesses enshrined, Mt. Oiwa has been a mountain of faith, visited by many ascetic monks and Yamabushi since ancient times.

Try “Taki-gyo”, meditation under a waterfall. It is truly refreshing and soothing to escape from the busyness of everyday life and to be hit by the randomly falling water. Meditate freely with your own style. You might want to stay there forever.

Marvel at the unique demonstration by the owner to understand the unique features including the durability of washi papers followed by your own washi-paper making/painting experience.
