Plan Contents
DAY1
Your tranquil journey gets closer to beginning the further away you travel from the busy city. First you will experience the solemn atmosphere of the national treasure, Zenkoji Temple, before witnessing the harmony between nature and faith in Togakushi.
On the first day, you will quietly enjoy spending your time relaxing at the accommodation facility, surrounded by old beliefs.
DAY2
Enjoy seeing the many magnificent mountains of Togakushi as you smell and taste soba at the soba-making experience. The main event for the next day is a visit to the Upper Shrine, and we will fan your excitement for it during this meal. In this way, you’ll be able to experience the charms of Togakushi with all five senses, and your journey to truly feel the faith and nature of the area will be complete.
DAY3
Eat lunch and take a moment to reflect with others upon how each guest has mentally changed as you question the types of beliefs and nature that will remain in the future. Even to this day, the water continues to moisten the 5-million-year-old mountains and 400-year-old trees. While thinking about the value of each individual life, consider how that is reflected in the conservation methods used. Our hope is for the people of the future to carry out good deeds we can be proud of.
