MUYA HOTEL
I peer through the mysterious little window, open the door, and go up the stairs.
I put my luggage down and changed from my shoes to sandals.
As your body is released, your mind will also be released.
I plopped down on my back on the bed.
I take a deep breath along with the breeze that comes in through the slightly open window.
As you exhale, your senses open up.
I notice that my mental resolution is gradually improving.
The moonlight, the sound of the wind, the smell of the alley.
The charm of this land goes beyond just the sea and hot springs.
The area was once bustling with people and the vibrant atmosphere can be seen everywhere.
Now, you're ready to experience the breath of this land.
From here on, it's your time to weave the story.

As you walk past the white beach and sea that gave the town its name,
You will see a small tunnel carved into the rock wall.
Once you pass through there, you will come to Shirahama's oldest hot spring resort, with a history of over 1,300 years.
Yuzaki district, Shirahama town.
In the past, this area was home to many hot springs known as the "Seven Yuzaki Hot Springs."
lead mountain It also flourished as a mining town known as Mines.
The outdoor baths are loved by both tourists, visitors seeking a cure, and locals.
The town was said to be full of energy.
A place that continues to be loved in Yuzaki Muro It is located halfway up the slope, a few minutes' walk from "No-yu" and "Saki-no-yu".
A somewhat modern sign with the words "shirahama nokyo" written on it.
Try to find a four-story building.
I peered into the small window next to the "MUYA" sign,
Open the door and go up the stairs,
That is the room where you will be staying tonight.
The former main street that passes in front of "MUYA"
It also serves as the approach to Yamajinja Shrine, which is the local guardian deity and enshrines the gods of hot springs and mines.
On Honmachi Street, there are rice shops, liquor stores, barber shops, fish shops, etc.
It continues to operate quietly today, evoking memories of the past.
I entered a back alley, guided by the arrow signs I saw here and there,
There were houses clinging to the steep slopes.
There are many narrow staircases and forks in the road that weave through the area.
There are no linear, impersonal roads in the area,
The narrow, organically intertwined alleys give a sense of the powerful yet generous lives of the people.
As I walked along, I was excited to see the unfamiliar scenery of this unknown land.
You come out onto a wide open hill where the sea and sky appear,
You can see a beautiful giant tree with sunlight filtering through the leaves next to a small shrine.
If you follow the smell of sulfur, you should be able to reach the source.
Walking on this land, soaking in hot springs on this land,
I lie down and sleep in this land.
It means loosening your mind and opening your senses.
It's not leisure, and it's a little different from everyday life.
A time to experience the breath of the land.
Please, please, take your time.
