What To Expect

This activity is a moderate hike with slow uphill trekking reaching the top located at an elevation of 1100m above sea level with a 2.5-hour hike to get to the Peace Pagoda. It's a Buddist stupa that was built to inspire peace and designed to provide a focus for people of all races and creeds to help unite them in their search for world peace.Most (though not all) peace pagodas built since World War II have been built under the guidance of Nichidatsu Fujii (1885–1985), a Buddhist monk from Japan and founder of the Nipponzan-Myōhōji Buddhist Order. Fuji was greatly inspired by his meeting with Mahatma Gandhi in 1931 and decided to devote his life to promoting non-violence. In 1947, he began constructing Peace Pagodas as shrines to world peace. By 2000, 80 Peace Pagodas had been built around the world in Europe, Asia, and the United States.
