・Sennindo : As shrine for health, happiness, a good career, love, dreams and matchmaking
marriages. NHK BS Premium TV programs “Shin Nihon Hudoki” and “As ichi”
and many other mass media have introduced this shrine. Some novels and children’s books are
set in this place, which is familiar to many people all over Japan. Coffee made with spring water
is very famous.
・Senchushoku : Meals are served on the boat. A Taiwanese model introduced traditional
Japanese food culture to the world, the local cuisines “Juwari soba” (soba made with only soba
buckwheat) and “imoni” (taro soup with meat and various vegetables). Both of them are
extremely popular.
・No need for picking up your car : It is not necessary to pay for your car to be picked up because
this is a round-trip tour. This is a very reasonably price and convenient.
