A local hunter will guide you through limestone caves and waterfall meditation, and you'll enjoy a BBQ featuring local ingredients including game meat for dinner, making this a nature experience event that will refresh both your mind and body. ■Event Details Refresh yourself from daily fatigue... work stress, relationship worries and distractions, lack of exercise with waterfall meditation and BBQ. The event will be held in the great outdoors of Akigawa Valley, just 60 minutes by train from the city center. After meeting at the station, you will make your way through the secluded valley towards the waterfall. You'll find yourself exclaiming, "What?! Is this really Tokyo??" as you experience this truly hidden gem. ●What is waterfall meditation? It is an ancient Japanese concept that means "purifying the mind and body with water." Historically, it is said to have been practiced since the Nara period, and was a purification ritual for ascetic monks before they began their training. It seems that this practice was sometimes performed as a ritual to pray for rain or a bountiful harvest. In this event, we will not perform any difficult rituals or actions, and you will be free to stand under the waterfall in your own way. Dress code is also casual. We will also provide snorkels, inner tubes, and other water toys, so you can look for fish and crabs, or float on the water's surface and enjoy some water fun. ●BBQ with local ingredients such as game meat Enjoy a BBQ after working up an appetite exploring the limestone cave and performing the waterfall meditation. Enjoy a BBQ menu featuring local Akiruno products such as "game meat (meat hunted)" from Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, "Akigawa beef" which is a specialty of Akiruno City, and "corn" which is also a specialty of Akiruno City (*). *Only available during corn season. ~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~・~ [Schedule for the day] 13:30 - Meet at JR Itsukaichi Line "Musashi-Itsukaichi Station" and register. *If you are coming by car, there is free parking available.

• Waterfall meditation releases far more beta-endorphins—the essence of "getting into balance"—than a sauna. In addition to regulating the autonomic nervous system, promoting blood circulation, and improving metabolism through cold water stimulation, it also offers mental benefits such as clearing worldly desires, inner peace, and enhanced mental strength, making it the ultimate form of mindfulness. Please try it at least once!
