Overview of the tour

Kukai is called Leonardo da Vinci in the East. He preached one of the spiritual truths of esoteric Buddhism is “the five elements all have resonance” (meaning that everything that exists in the world has resonance and resonates with each other).
This tour presents you with special experience in places related to Kukai based on “the resonance of the five elements”, and you will touch the universe that Kukai saw.
