Mitsumine-Jinjya shrine

This is a sacred place of mountain worship located at the top of Mount Mitsumine with an altitude of 1,100 m in the Chichibu mountain chain.

shukubo (Shrine stay)

The shukubo is an older reinforced concrete building that looks like a school dormitory. It has a restaurant that serves light meals, so the facility itself is pretty good. However, as it is located deeper in the mountain than I expected, I was surprised at the presence of such a big building.

Dinner

When we stayed there, all of the other guests were from a Buddhist group. We ate meals at a large hall. The people in the group and we were separated by a standing screen. Due to a lack of space, we were seated together with the bus drivers and the guides. Still, it was very quiet and the atmosphere was marvelously solemn.

Guest room

The guest room was a 10 tatami Japanese style room.

Hot spring

It has a hot spring and you can bathe for \500 in this spring even if you are not a guest at the shukubo. The hot spring water contains sodium and chloride salt and the temperature is 32.5 Celsius. The hot spring is good for muscle aches, neuralgia, joint pains, and sensitivity to cold.

Morning prayer

Morning prayers were held at 7 o’clock. The priest recited a prayer and performed a purification ritual.
