Mt.JINBA Night walk

This is an evening stroll that sharpens your mind and senses, themed around the five elements; wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
By focusing on the senses that we aren’t aware of in our daily lives, we will deliver a special experience that allows you to recalibrate your mind and body and reflect on yourself.
Discover new hidden realizations while feeling the power of nature throughout your body on a quiet night on Mount Jinba.

Five Elements × Five Senses Experience

"Wood": Become aware of your sense of smell


First, we will work with scents to help you become aware of your sense of smell, and then we will consciously sense the scents of trees, plants, and flowers, as well as the smell of soil, as we walk along the path. By becoming aware of how your mind and body react to scents, you can achieve a deep relaxation and a sense of connection with your self. The effect of the scents may even help you recall important memories that you have forgotten.

"Fire": Perceive the beauty of nature through sight


Discover fire and various other light, such as stars, lights from the town, candlelight, and other light that can be found in nature, at the top of the mountain. Feel your heart fill with their sparkling beauty. This is an opportunity to renew your awareness of what it means to see something.

"Earth": Experience the sensation of being one with the earth through touch


We bring you the special experience of coming into contact with the earth while swathed in the silence of the mountains. Touch the soil, rocks, and trees with your hands, and take the time to feel the temperature, texture, hardness, and softness of nature. By sharpening your sense of touch, which is often overlooked in daily life, and experiencing the sensation of being one with the earth, you will be able to deepen your connection with nature. Free your mind and use it as an opportunity to reflect on yourself.

"Metal": Listen closely to the sounds that come from within


Listen in silence and focus your attention on the echoes of tingsha cymbals and other metallic sounds, as well as the tones of nature. Listen also to the sound of your own breathing and heartbeat. Experience a moment where you feel for yourself the harmony between nature and your inner self. Your mind will be sharpened and freed of unnecessary thoughts.

"Water": Enhance your sensitivity to taste


Experience how your sense of taste changes before and after walking up the mountain, and how your senses differ depending on your surroundings and the state of your body and mind. Feel the energy of pure water course through your body as you taste water and specially-prepared tea. Experience being enveloped by cool air and feel it seep into your body.
