Shugendo Experience

Encounter Shugendo, an ascetic religious tradition that draws on Taoist, Buddhist and Shinto beliefs. First, purify yourself with incense, then hike to three secluded waterfalls of the Kirifuri highlands. Try the centuries-old takigyo practice of standing beneath a cascade to purify the body-mind, and come away refreshed by the spiritual energy of the mountain. Shugendo
