Japan’s sacred sites.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not a standard Japan trip.<\/p>\n

This is a journey through the places of power and the most scenic spots of the Land of the Rising Sun with the amazing guide Oksana, who is in love with this country.

Everyone was very satisfied. <\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll see and spend time at Japan’s three sacred mountains – Fuji, Kurama and Koya.<\/b><\/strong> <\/b><\/strong> In ancient Japanese beliefs, mountains, like trees, were considered not only the manifestation but also the body of a god.

It is known that both Morihei Ueshiba<\/b><\/strong>the founder of aikido,<\/b><\/strong> often brought his students here to train in the mystical Shozobo Valley. <\/p>\n

Here, you’ll spend overnight in the monastery complex, <\/b><\/strong>participate in evening and morning services and sample the monks’ ascetic dinner, prepared according to ancient canons. <\/p>\n

This journey will take place during the period of the plum blossom,<\/b><\/strong> when nature awakens after winter. In Japanese culture, ume symbolizes purity and the beginning of a new cycle. This is a particularly auspicious time to visit temples, to devote time to inner search and to initiate change. <\/p>\n
