I had a fantastic experience doing this trekking excursion. I really enjoyed learning about the history and being apart of the prayer experience in particular. If you are interested in learning the culture from an English speaking guide while taking some fantastic nature, this would be a wonderful experience for you. I came during the winter season so I’d imagine the waterfall would be heavier if you were to come toward the summer months. The trip ended with an onsen experience at a nearby hotel, using their natural outdoor onsen tub - this was sooooo relaxing and just a fantastic way to complete the adventure! The whole experience was well organized and seamless. I’m very thrilled and will really cherish the memory.

October 2024 We were extremely fortunate to have both Ryusuke and Yuko as our guides on the Mt. Inunaki Trekking and Goma Prayer Experience in Osaka Tour. They were extremely knowledgeable, pointing out and explaining things we would have just walked by had we been on our own. They also answered all our questions we had accumulated about Japan, customs, shrines, and temples etc, prior to going on the tour, so thank you very much for that! For the trail itself, bring bug spray and water/food. We both wore sneakers and were fine. The path is uneven and mostly an incline, but not much different than other shrines/temples we visited previously. The fire ceremony was a very unique experience, it was nice to talk to a monk and see a ritual in person, very memorable. The hot springs offer a lovely view of the local forest and a great way to relax at the end. Everything is provided at the hot springs including towels. Make sure to have ice cream in the lobby after to cool down, those spring are truly hot. We did the tour on a thurs and it was pretty quiet, only a few other people around. Highly recommend! Great guides! Thank you Ryusuke and Yuko for such a memorable experice in your beautiful country!

One of the most unique experiences I've had in Japan (and I've been living here for 5 years). Calming, peaceful and you get to see a hidden side of Japan. For me this was the highlight of my year and I'm so grateful that I was allowed to participate in this special ceremony This tour is perfect for singles, couples or a group of friends

I'd heard of Inunaki from a friend who does a lot of hikes of their own. When an opportunity to visit the area on a tour presented itself, I went. I look forward to visiting again on my own so that I can spend more time enjoying the river and the scenery. I also look forward to returning to try mizugyo (the Buddhist practice of meditating under a waterfall) at the beautiful Shipporyuji Temple. The open air Onsen (Japanese hot spring) bath at Fudoguchikan is also amazing. I've been to several scenic and beautiful Onsen throughout Japan. This one holds its own against the best of them.
