Deep in a secluded forest outside Tokyo, men preform the Shinto Misogi ceremony with prayers and body movement before entering the Nanayo no Taki waterfall that pours from Mount Mitake.
•
This peaceful, meditative setting next to ta sacred waterfall is located in a remote mountain side outside of Tokyo around 1.5 kilometers from the Musashi Mitake Jinja Shrine.
