The day was perfect for a nice walk up towards a very famous temple, forest, bathing, good exercise, beautiful temple shrines and buildings made of Cedar and Cypress wood. Ending with the delicious lunch at a local tea house.

Akihiro-san was an experienced guide and tailored it to my interest (I was the only one on this hike). He is knowledgable of the mountain, the cedar forest and the stories of the temple. It was hot and humid during summer but I can imagine how this would be completely different in Spring or with the Autumn colors. I would definitely come again. And yes, the onsen was the perfect end to the day!
