About this activity

Starting in mid-November, Inunaki Mountain transforms with vibrant autumn colors, creating the perfect season for trekking. The mountains, covered in red and yellow hues, resemble a beautiful painting. As you walk along trails blanketed with fallen leaves, the crisp autumn air and seasonal scents provide a refreshing escape from daily life.

This limited-time trekking experience amid stunning autumn foliage offers a unique adventure that can only be enjoyed during this special season.

In this tour, you hike up the mountain to the Sipporyuji temple with our guide through the primeval forest which has been a training basement for Yamabushi, the Buddhist monk. After visiting the temple, you go back to Fudouguchi-Kan, Hot springs Japanese inn at the entrance of Mt. Inunaki. You have authentic Japanese cuisine and enjoy soaking in the Inunaki hot springs. Fudoguchikan provides a private Japanese room only for you.

Mt. Inunaki is regarded as one of the oldest sacred mountains in Japan. According to recent historical research and advances in the academic study of Shugen-do, Mt. Inunaki is now considered the birthplace of Shugen-do. We hike up this mountain to the temple. About 35 minutes bus transportation from Izumisano station to Mt. Inunaki and its return transportation is included in the tour duration.
Shipporyuji Temple

Stone pillars are lined up on both sides of the approach, and red and black flags are erected. It is a Shugendo-style temple, with many shrines and Buddhist statues. The syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism is evident, with the Hotei statue visible behind the stone torii gate. The Inunaki River flows through the mountains, and there are seven waterfalls and places to practice.
