This sacred mountain has more mysterious story than Buddhist's hard practice. Legend says that about 6 million years ago, one alien called Kumara came here all the way from Venus.This mountain is also said to be the most power spot.

“The city of Osaka”
It was such an amazing experience visiting Osaka with the help of Toru! He took us to the Osaka castle where he explained the history in details that we wouldn’t have had if we went on our own. As we were touring the castle I noticed several times that others would stop to listen to Toru speak as well! He has such a deep understanding of the history that was so helpful! We were able to see the castle, eat some street food, and visit a beautiful shrine! I highly recommend Toru!
“The city of Kyoto”
Kyoto is such a beautiful city with so much history! Toru took us to many historic areas and gave detailed descriptions that we wouldn’t have otherwise had. It was so great to have a deep understanding of the history and culture of the area. Toru did an amazing job answering our questions and giving detailed explanations. I highly highly recommend selecting him as your guide!
“The city of Kobe”
We had an outstanding time visiting Kobe with Toru! We got to see beautiful waterfalls, hike, take a gondola ride, have amazing Kobe beef, and visit the longest suspension bridge. Toru did a great job answering our questions and giving us detailed information about each place we visited.
