I used it a few years ago. There are no shops at night unless you finish your shopping early, but it's a nice and quiet place. I think it was run by a couple who also have grandchildren. We were guided by car to Nakisuna and Iwami Ginzan. I really appreciate it. I hope you stay healthy forever.

2017/12 AccommodationThank you for staying with me for one night while I was on a solo backpacking trip.At first, I made a request for accommodation through an internet homepage, and after that I made detailed arrangements over the phone.Due to train connections, I wasn't sure if I would be able to arrive on the scheduled date, but they were very flexible and helpful.Perhaps because I was the only guest staying, I was given a ride to and from the station, which I was grateful for.The temple is on top of a mountain, so the view is very good.
