Staying at Susanowa was a special experience that I will never forget in my life. First of all, the location of the facility is excellent, right in front of Susa Shrine, giving you the feeling of being part of the shrine grounds. This shrine is also known for being visited by Hiroyuki Ebara, who is famous nationwide as a spiritual counselor, and you can feel its sacredness firsthand.The owner of "Susanowa" is deeply knowledgeable about Shinto, and during our stay, he talked to us in detail about the history of the shrine and the teachings of Shinto. This private lodging facility itself is the home of the owner's wife, and I strongly feel that it is a place that strongly reflects the history and tradition of Susa Shrine.When you enter the Japanese-style room on the first floor, the first thing that catches your eye is a splendid Shinto altar. This altar has been cherished since the time of my grandfather, who was the chief priest of Susa Shrine, and its formality and sacredness can be felt at a glance. Additionally, the hanging scroll hanging in the alcove was a very valuable gift from the previous Senke chief priest of Izumo Taisha Shrine, and I was overwhelmed by its beauty and history. Spending time in this Japanese-style room was a special moment that calmed my mind and made me forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life.What's more, Susanowa is located in a quiet environment surrounded by nature, where you can feel the sacred atmosphere of a shrine, making it the perfect place to heal your mind and body. The heartfelt hospitality provided by the owner truly embodies the traditional Japanese spirit of hospitality, and the way they treat each and every guest with care leaves a strong impression.Also, during your stay at Susanowa, it is very easy to visit Susa Shrine, and by visiting the shrine during the quiet hours of the morning, you can have a deeper time of prayer and meditation. I did. Such a valuable experience cannot be had anywhere else.Furthermore, those who visit Izumo Taisha Shrine are also encouraged to visit Susa Shrine, which is dedicated to the deity Susatsu. After experiencing the solemn atmosphere of Izumo Taisha Shrine, you will experience an even greater sense of spiritual fulfillment by experiencing the divine virtues of Susaku-sama.Lastly, the owner's YouTube channel is also a must-see. Valuable information about Susanowa and Susa Shrine is disseminated, allowing you to get a deep understanding of its atmosphere and history before visiting. There is a wealth of visual information, so be sure to check it out as a reference before your visit.Overall, Susanowa is more than just a lodging facility, it is a place to soothe the mind and soul.
