Embark on a transformative odyssey from the cedar-cloaked sanctuaries of Minobu to the sacred slopes of Mt. Fuji. Your journey begins with a private helicopter ascent from Tokyo, delivering you into the heart of a spiritual realm. Guided by resident monks, you will traverse the hallowed groves of Kuon-ji, chant in rhythm with ancient mountain trails, and find stillness within the refined walls of Ebisuya with a purifying Shojin Ryori dinner. This is a path of "Rebirth"—an invitation to don the traditional white robes of the pilgrim and emerge from the "Earth’s Womb" at the Fuji tree molds, shedding the old self. Concluding with a breathtaking aerial view of Japan’s iconic peak and a trek along the historic Yoshida trail, this bespoke experience offers a profound spiritual awakening, connecting the serenity of the temple to the raw power of the mountain.
