    Travel / Tourism
    Izumisano-shi, Osaka-fu
    This is a sacred place founded more than 1,300 years ago for Shugendo, a form of Japanese mountain asceticism, by the founder of the mountain ascetic sect En no Ozunu, also called En no Gyoja. At Mt. Inunaki Shipporyuji Temple, Japan's oldest Shugendo dojo, besides being able to undergo training such as meditation by sitting under a waterfall if initiated, there are one-day courses (reservations required) where you can experience training under the guidance of a mountain ascetic. There are many female participants since there are no restrictions. Inunaki Hot Springs is also located at the foot of the mountain, where you can heal yourself from the weariness of training.
