Located on the upper floor, this room features floor-to-ceiling windows facing the vermilion torii gate and ancient cherry trees. Morning light floods through, transforming the view into a living ukiyo-e painting—seasonal changes are vividly displayed: cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, fiery maples in autumn, and snow-draped tranquility in winter.

Within a 5-minute walk from Hioike Ikina Shrine, visitors can explore the Maizuru City Museum, which houses artifacts and manuscripts linked to local mythology and hosts monthly "Shrine Legend Lectures." Just behind the shrine, a hidden stone prayer path winds through moss-covered stones engraved with wishes. Guests may participate in the "Wish Writing Ritual," inscribing hopes on paper and placing them in a stone basin—a symbolic act of spiritual cleansing. These culturally rich activities are curated by HopeGoo to ensure authentic immersion and personal connection.
