At Mitsuishi Fudoson, a traditional esoteric Buddhist temple that worships the waterfall where Kobo Daishi trained at the age of 21, we will practice rituals at the goma and make our wishes come true.

Egg-fried rice prepared by a professional chef and BBQ using local ingredients. The ultimate rural experience tour with a guided sightseeing tour of local natural and historic sites. Please check in at 3:00 pm and enjoy some cafe time. We started BBQ (shrimp, beef, shellfish, yakitori, vegetables, etc.) towards the evening. Once your stomach has calmed down, turn on the fire in the wood-burning stove sauna. The night in the countryside goes by as you drink and eat while enjoying the sauna. In the morning, I wake up to the sound of chickens chirping. Breakfast consists mainly of freshly cooked rice and egg-cooked rice, with the eggs removed from the egg-laying box. After relaxing and enjoying the cafe, we will guide you on the Heki River tour, including the geopark, Torige Cave, Heki River clear stream, and prawn farm according to your request.
