Experience the Homa line and praying that has continued for 2000 years.

It is said that by worshiping at Homa and chanting the mantra, both the body and spirit are purified, and the "Bodhicitta" that is the heart of the Buddha is opened.
After working in the morning and having breakfast, it is recommended to take a walk until check-out at 9 o'clock.

There are 5 courses (small plate, teacup, cup, teacup, vase) in the pottery experience". The hand-kneading is characterized by handmade and a plump and cute shape. Even beginners and children can enjoy it.

Trekking on Mt. Myojin

After enjoying the pottery, let's go trekking on Mt. Myojin!
The 40-minute trek to the top of the mountain is a paved road, so it's very easy to walk!

The Tatsuta fried lunch that you eat at the top is exceptional! !!
