Along with the caves, your guide will acquaint you with the wonders of the renowned Aokigahara forest set at the foothills of the Mountain and famed for its peculiar, mysterious realm of eerie silence, darkness and tranquillity.

    In Kyoto, immerse yourself in a private tea ceremony at the Shakusui-tei tea house. Witness the elegant movements of a tradition steeped in history and join in with the time-honoured rituals of brewing and tasting, led by a skilled tea master, where every second is a resonance of the past.
