Myokaiji Temple was founded in 1359. It is built on a hill overlooking the sea. Shukubo is located just a one-minute walk from the temple gate. This is a lodging facility created by renovating a house. Those who wish can also try out a meditation session.

Amatsushinmeigu Shrine was founded by Minamoto no Yoritomo in 1184. Shukubo is located just across the road from the grounds of Shrine. This renovated house is now a lodging facility that only caters to one group per day. The next morning, we attended a shrine ceremony.

Nichiren, a founder of the Nichiren sect performed ascetic practices in this temple. Although the shukubo's building is modern reinforced concrete construction, it is located inside the precinct and commands a view of the main hall. The service in the morning is conducted in the main hall and the Soshido hall.
