Hiromine Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine with origins dating back nearly 2,000 years, and its main sanctuary was established in 734. Nestled deep in the quiet mountains of Mount Hiromine, it has long been revered as a sacred spiritual power spot. On this tour, guests will experience a unique style of worship found only at Hiromine Shrine, based on Onmyodo (ancient Japanese cosmology). Visitors pray to the guardian deity of their Nine Star destiny, offering wishes while facing the prayer point associated with their own destiny star. Surrounded by a serene and sacred atmosphere, this special visit offers a rare opportunity to connect with traditional Japanese beliefs and spiritual practices, making it one of the most memorable stops on the tour.

Keiunji Temple is a historic Buddhist temple located in the Noyori district, an area that has flourished for centuries as a center of commerce and culture. It is especially known for the Hiyoku-zuka, a unique memorial site found only at this temple. The Hiyoku-zuka was created to honor two lovers who were unable to be united during their lifetimes. On this tour, their tragic love story—Onatsu and Seijuro—serves as an example through which visitors are invited to reflect on the idea of “eternal love” that transcends time, as embodied in this deeply moving memorial.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
