1. Experience Waterfall Meditation at Shirataki Daimyojin [4 July 2022]

Shirataki Daimyojin is a waterfall in Ise city, Mie prefecture, that flows through an entire mountain. The locals believe that this is a sacred place for deities and pilgrims.

If you walk uphill, you will meet a sacred waterfall where you can try standing under the waterfall to experience “Takigyo” (Waterfall Meditation).

Meditation under a waterfall will clear your mind and make you feel refreshed.
