Onsen (hot springs), good food, Chinese medicinal herbs, and green tea have all been linked to beauty in one way or another, and we have all of them in Okumikawa. We even have a locally mined and unique mineral for foundation that you can make yourself!

This 2 night 3 day model itinerary is a way to relax and find the beauty of Okumikawa as you find your own beauty. Experience our local culture and Japanese tradition with the finer things Okumikawa has to offer.

Go deeper than what you can get at shrines and temples in the cities! On this 3 night, 4 day model itinerary you can get a feel for Japanese Buddhism, Shinto, and the mysterious mountain monk spirituality that blends the two (and more). This model itinerary is a more flexible version of one of our package tours, making it possible to run at more times throughout the year.

Hanamatsuri dates back to the times of roaming mountain monks sharing ceremonies with locals as they passed through the area. Over a weekend, 13 and 14 Dec 2025, see two notable versions of this festival, one considered the origin of Hanamatsuri, and the other the most "recent" of the Hanamatsuri. Immerse yourself in deep mountain culture and ancient mountain spirituality on this active itinerary.

2 days and 3 nights is just enough time to get a feel for Okumikawa and see some the major sights. Stay in cosy accommodation and enjoy great food. On the second day, scale the steps of Mt. Horaiji and try an experience to discover Japanese tradition. On the last day, see one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls and see what life is like in a mountain village. Our guided tours will help you to experience the real Japan away from busy cities.
