We visit the Shiporyuji temple and do the Goma ceremony, a Mountain Asceticism known as “Shugen-do.” Goma means “to burn” in Sanskrit. As fire burns away everything on the ground, including even defilement and worldly desires, it is believed to be sacred. We offer your wishes at the “Gomadan” altar by making a holy fire in front of Honzon (principal image of Buddha), Kurikara Fudo Myo-o.

You can experience bathing in the Inunaki Hot Spring onsen. Choose between two types of hot spring pools. Enjoy natural hot spring bathing in the Open-air bath with a view of a mountain stream, or the comfort of an Indoor large bath.
