About this activity

Step into the mystical heart of Kyushu on this unforgettable one-day journey from Fukuoka.

Your adventure begins at Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine, a hidden spiritual gem tucked deep within an emerald-green forest. Walk beneath rows of weathered torii gates, climb moss-covered stone steps, and feel the quiet magic that has inspired comparisons to scenes from Studio Ghibli films.

Guided by an expert storyteller, you’ll uncover centuries of history, folklore, and Shinto tradition while traveling in comfort from Fukuoka. It’s a day of serene landscapes, captivating legends, and timeless spirituality.
