Tom Daley Does Japan: DEWA SANZAN

Next up on Tom's Tohoku tour is the holy Dewa Sanzan! Tom proves he's got what it takes to be a 'yamabushi' - followers of the ascetic mountain religion known as Shugendo - as he kits up in the traditional gear and makes the pilgrimage to the famous Gojunoto pagoda at Haguro-san before stripping down for meditation beneath an icy cold waterfall and leaping over a blazing fire! Read on to find out more about Tom's day of spiritual enlightenment!
