Mount Takao Spiritual Experience with Monk and Ukai Toriyama

Leave the crowds of Tokyo behind and step into the mystical world of Mount Takao, a sacred mountain awarded three stars in the Michelin Green Guide. Walk through peaceful forest trails alongside a real Buddhist monk from Yakuoin Temple, hearing fascinating stories of ancient mountain worship and hidden spiritual traditions. Feel the energy of an authentic Goma fire ritual as flames rise, monks chant powerful prayers, and incense fills the temple. Make your own wish and receive a blessed talisman to take home. After your mountain journey, relax at the famous Ukai Toriyama, surrounded by a beautiful traditional garden. Enjoy a premium irori-style kaiseki meal in a private room while gazing out over the tranquil scenery. Created with the temple and restaurant, this small-group experience offers a rare chance to discover Japan’s spiritual culture, nature, and cuisine in one unforgettable day.
