Yakuoji is a wonderful temple with lots of secrets and wonders. Feel free to ask staff to help you find them! Like the bell to hit the amount of times that connects to your age. A mysterious tunnel that takes you to "hell". And stairs that will save you from unlucky ages. There is also the option to arrange in advance to go inside and try traditional buddhist cuisine which was so delicious! They will also guide you on different types of meditation, including writing meditation! They are working hard to preserve their heritage, so please go and support them by dropping in

Beautiful temple in an interesting town. Lots of good food options near Hiwasa Station. Gorgeous coastline about a kilometer from the temple.

Best place to see Hiwasa Village, Visited in October. I think it would be better if you visit this place in April to enjoy cherry blossoms.
