Mount Inunaki, shrouded in ancient mystique, stands as a testament to Japan’s spiritual heritage. Recently hailed as the cradle of Shugen-do, a syncretic mountain asceticism, this revered peak offers more than just a climb; it is a journey through time and tradition. Here, amidst the whispering forests and cascading waterfalls, practitioners continue the age-old ritual of waterfall meditation, connecting with the profound energy of the land.

Just a short 35-minute bus ride from Izumisano station transports you to this otherworldly retreat. Whether you’re a pilgrim of the soul or an adventurer at heart, Mount Inunaki’s sacred trails await to enchant and inspire. Come, embrace the allure of a mountain that has captivated seekers for millennia.

Embark on a spiritual journey at Mt. Inunaki, where the ancient practice of Shugen-do comes to life. This unique form of mountain asceticism, guided by seasoned practitioners, invites you to immerse yourself in the sacred ritual of takigyo—waterfall meditation. Unlike the secluded Mt. Omine, Mt. Inunaki’s inclusive spirit welcomes both men and women, proudly known as “Nyonin Omine” (Women’s Omine), offering a rare opportunity for all to experience this transformative tradition. Connect with nature, challenge your limits, and find inner peace in the serene embrace of Mt. Inunaki’s cascading waters.

Immerse yourself in the serene embrace of Inunaki Hot Springs, where the healing powers of nature rejuvenate your spirit. There are two exquisite hot spring pools: bask in the open-air bath, caressed by the gentle murmur of the mountain stream, and indulge in the cozy seclusion of the indoor large bath. After an invigorating mountain trek and waterfall meditation, find solace in a moment of profound tranquility. This is not just a retreat; it’s a return to the essence of well-being, beckoning travelers from afar to partake in its timeless allure.
