** JAPAN'S IZU PENINSULA/ HAKONE/ YAMANASHI SAKURA GEMS & SECRET TRAILS! **
**TRIP CONFIRMED!**
**(JUST 2 SLOTS LEFT FOR SPECIAL PROMO PRICE?**
🍁 Discover the Untamed Beauty of Japan’s Sakura Cherry-Blossom in this Breathtaking 9-Day Hiking & Road Trip Adventure! 🚗
Hey members, you may have been to Japan many times but we bet many of you have yet to go 'off-the-beaten' track away from the popular touristy spots to **EXPLORE & ENJOY** the **REAL JAPAN** \- it's immense beauty\, colorful culture and hidden gems that few know of\.
Come, join us on this breathtaking adventure as we take you to uncover Japan’s hidden gems, beautiful mountains, tranquil lakes and crimson forests during the early sakura season which comes slightly earlier in the mountains. **Note:** This is not your typical tour — it’s an hiking cum road-trip adventure designed for hikers, nature-lovers, photographers and explorers who crave the freedom to roam beyond the boring tourist trail that few know of.
Our journey begins in Tokyo before we board the train to **Odawara**, where the real adventure starts. From here, we’ll hit the road to explore the dramatic coastlines of the **Izu Peninsula**, **tranquil mirror lakes** and **waterfalls**, and the **beautiful forests** of the **Amagi Mountains.** We’ll soak in **rejuvenating onsen hot springs,** visit **charming countryside towns**, and hike through the breathtaking landscapes of **Shosenkyo Gorge** and the cherry-blossom trees/ forests and **picturesque** **5 Lakes** surrounding **majestic Mt Fuji**.
But that’s not all — we’ll also visit **vineyards, winery**, **local fruit farms**, indulge in seasonal harvests, and experience authentic Japanese cuisine along the way. Expect handmade soba, melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, and hidden izakayas only locals know.
Each day offers something different: **misty mountain trails, lakeside sunsets, volcanic valleys, coastal viewpoints,** and **soul-soothing soaks** in traditional hot-spring onsens.
To end our journey with a bang, we return to Tokyo and dive into the neon-lit buzz of **Shinjuku** — a perfect contrast to the serenity we’ve just experienced.
This is your chance to explore Japan’s beauty off from the usual touristy sights during the cherry-blossom season - the way few ever do and knew — with the breeze in your hair, a smile, a handphone/ camera in hand, and new friends by your side. We're sure that **90%** of these places we're showing you will be new or unknown to you even though you may have been to Japan several times before. Cos these hidden gems, amazing hiking trails, farms, small villages & scenic places are curated from my 40+ years of adventures there in Japan. They are mostly off-the-beaten track, may not be found in Google maps and not easily accessible without your own private vehicle and good topo navigation skills.
So ... are you game for adventure to enjoy autumn in picturesque Japan and discover new hidden trails with us?
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
**TRIP HIGHLIGHTS:**
**1) IZU PENINSULA**
*A hidden gem south of Tokyo, the Izu Peninsula offers a stunning blend of coastal cliffs, serene waterfalls, and forested mountains ablaze with sakura colours. From the scenic Kawazu Seven Waterfalls to the vibrant woods & forests of Shuzenji, Izu is perfect for hikers and onsen lovers alike. Explore charming hot spring towns, dramatic sea caves in Dogashima, and mountain trails in the Amagi Highlands — all while tasting fresh seafood and soaking in ocean-view baths.*
**2) HAKONE**
*Hakone is a beloved getaway known for its steaming hot springs, volcanic landscapes, and iconic views of Mt. Fuji. Visitors can hike quiet forest trails, cruise across the misty waters of Lake Ashi, and stroll down cedar-lined paths of the old Tokaido Road. The Hakone Open-Air Museum adds an artistic twist to nature, while hidden onsens and traditional inns provide the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. In spring, the surrounding hills burst into brilliant pink and red, creating picture-perfect scenes.*
**3) MT. FUJI Five Lakes Region**
*Surrounding Japan’s most iconic mountain, the Fuji Five Lakes area is a paradise for nature lovers and photographers. Lakes Kawaguchi, Yamanaka, Saiko, Shoji, and Motosu offer mirror-like reflections of Mt. Fuji, especially stunning in the lovely spring flower season. The area is dotted with hiking trails, lava caves, flower parks, and traditional villages. It’s also the perfect place to catch sunrise over Fuji or unwind in a lakeside onsen with unforgettable views.*
**4) YAMANASHI** **(incl. Shosenkyo Gorge)**
*Yamanashi is home to some of Japan’s most spectacular mountain scenery. **Shosenkyo Gorge** is a must-see, with towering cliffs, riverside trails, and vibrant maple forests. Beyond the gorge, enjoy **fruit-picking** at local orchards, **wine-tasting** in Japan’s premier wine region, and panoramic views from ropeways and scenic plateaus. The region combines mountain beauty with cultural charm and is the perfect inland contrast to the coastal Izu.*
Yes, there's so much to explore beyond the popular touristy places of Tokyo, Osaka & Kyoto. Cos the real beauty lies beyond - at the countryside, lakes, farms, waterfalls, cedar and oak forests, pilgrimage shrines, secret torii-gates, caves, vineyards & more!

[Hiking Series] M'sia - Ophir via Sagil (1,276m): Step-up for a full-day hike!
**\*If interested, please whatsapp** [wa.me/+6588842635](wa.me/+6588842635) **or +65 8884 2635! We have limited permits and must be applied in advance. Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! \****
Gunung Ledang, or commonly known as Mount Ophir (1,276m) is the highest mountain in Johor and almost the most climbed mountain there.
This is a good step-up hike for those who are looking to progress to tougher hikes after Gunung Datuk or are training or preparing for Kinabalu/Nepal etc.
**Who is this for?**
It serves as a good training or progressive hike for those who wish to do more hiking. Most do it as training for other treks, like Kinabalu, or Nepal.
**How tough is it/How fit do I have to be?**
It is twice as long as Gunung Datuk. The trek is around 4-5h up and 3-4h down, making it a total of 9h. The total elevation is around 1,000m up and down. It can be quite tiring on your legs.
It is generally tropical forest trail, with some rope portions, ladders and rock faces. It can be quite fun to go through the different terrain with the need to use your hands at some points.
However, if you have done Gunung Datuk before, the terrain is not that much of a surprise. The tough part is only the duration.
This is good for people who have some level of fitness, if not it will be fun for those who are first time in Malaysia!
**What happens if I am slow?**
There is a 1 guide to 7 hikers ratio. There is also a cut-off timing to the summit, if you fail to make it you will have to turn back! So far everyone I've brought made it =). Do note if you descent past a certain time, there is a penalty.
How many pax for the trip to happen?
Minimum **12 pax** to start the trip!
Once confirmed, a Whatsapp group will be set up.

Some additional questions:
1. How long is the ride to Mount Ophir
A: It takes only around 3-4h from Singapore
2. The journey to Ophir only takes 3 hours, why do we set off so early?
A: This is so that we can save money on accommodation/driver cost/taxi to MRT station. This also means there is a lack of sleep, so try to sleep in the vehicle! Bring a travel pillow!
3. Are there shower or toilet facilities at the park?
A: Yes there are but basic. Expect using a hose/bucket. Please bring a change of clothes and shower when you are down from Ophir. No smelly people in the vehicle!
4. What do I have to look out for?
A: There are mosquitoes and leeches sometimes, depends on the weather.
5. Where is dinner?
We would have dinner in Tangkak at a cheap and nice chinese restaurant, if there are dietary concerns there are other options around the area also.

2D1N Camping, Basic Survival Trg + Selantai & Mawar Coastal Hike @ Mersing
***Ready for sign-up!***
Question? [WhatsApp organizer](http://wa.link/j2at9z)
➡️ Pay to secure a slot
Min. 15 pax to confirm.
**What will you experience?**
**Seaside living, the rustic style**: 2 easy yet scenic coastal hikes, 1 night camping by the sea, learn some basic survival skills & cook your own dinner with team effort.
**INTRODUCTION**
The Selantai and Pulau Mawar hike in Mersing, Johor, is a short yet scenic coastal trail renowned for its dramatic rock formations, crystal-clear blue waters, and tranquil, untouched beaches. The route passes through coastal shrubs, sandy stretches, and rocky outcrops before reaching the iconic **“Heaven’s Gate (天堂之门)”** rocks at Pulau Mawar—one of the area’s most photogenic spots. It’s an easy-to-moderate hike suitable for beginners, offering beautiful sunrise views and a peaceful, nature-rich escape by the sea.
**[Drone video of Heaven's Gate: CLICK](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBu_W4OSp_N/)**
People flock to Pulau Mawar undoubtedly for the Heaven’s Gate view – a huge rock arch that opens to the view of the South China Sea. In Malay, it is also known as Gerbang Laut or in Chinese, “天堂之门”, which means “Door to Heaven”. Don’t be deceived by the photo; the actual rock arch is a lot bigger than it looks.
**=> [Read more here](https://1step1footprint.com/pulau-mawar-heavens-gate/)**
Pulau Mawar is located at the tip of Pantai Mawar beach, just a 30-minute drive north of Mersing Town/Jetty. Many years ago, it was indeed an island separated by a small strait from the mainland. However, after years of alternating high and low tides, a sandbank forms, connecting Pantai Mawar to Pulau Mawar. So, it is not a *Pulau,* an island anymore – totally accessible on foot!
**Bukit Selantai** is a short but rewarding coastal hill hike known for its sweeping sea views and peaceful natural setting. The trail climbs gently through light forest and rocky terrain before opening up to panoramic vistas of the coastline, offshore islands, and turquoise waters. Suitable for beginners with a moderate fitness level.

How to Get Over Losses and Betrayls & Build Lasting Relationships
Join us for this free, in person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build lasting relationships?
Are you burdened by a stressful relationship?
Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Let's try a Friday Night Fish Fry!
We thought of one of the interesting things that can be enjoyed at this time of the year. We will be meeting at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for a "Fish Fry" in Marian Hall on Friday, March 27th at 5:00 PM.
It might be fun for you to experience what has become a tradition on the Fridays before Easter. They will have fried fish or baked fish, French fries and Cole slaw, as well as beverages, all for $16.00 for adults. They will have other beverages and desserts available for sale, as well. We have never tried this, and sometimes there are quite a few people at these events so we hope that we will be able to find each other easily. I'll try to have signs outside Marian Hall that Identify our group. We hope to have you join us!
