Activity
The profound resonance of Yanbaru National Park
The Daisekirinzan in Yanbaru National Park, along with the surrounding forests recognized as a World Natural Heritage site, is a mystical paradise where precious organisms thrive. We will walk through the sacred place of Ryukyuan mythology, Ashimui.
Exploring the unknown sacred sites
The term Utaki refers to a location where gods from Ryukyu mythology are believed to exist or visit, and it serves as a central facility for regional festivals. It continues to attract many believers as a sacred sanctuary that protects the region. This forest, which includes the Daisekirinzan, has become a mystical Utaki, with numerous places of worship.
Guiding those who believe more in spirituality than religion.
It is possible for guides and interpreters to enter places that are normally inaccessible, even if they are believed to be spiritual hotspots or sacred sites by the local people.
Incorporating elements of mindfulness, allocate time to engage with oneself
Meditating in nature provides an opportunity to connect with one's inner self, and interacting with the villagers of the Hedo settlement on a journey to collect holy water enriches both the mind and soul.
A heartwarming tea time in an old folk house
Enjoy tea and snacks made with wild grass. The tranquil moments in the old folk house become a special time where you can feel the connection with this land
