Guests at Akashi Bay Resort Hotel can join the Shrine Morning Ritual Experience, led by expert guides who take you to Seiryu Shrine at 6:30 AM before public access. You’ll participate in a private morning prayer ceremony and learn proper etiquette for incense offering, bowing, and making wishes.

Following the ritual, enjoy a Mitsuboshi Breakfast featuring local ingredients—such as wasabi tuna sushi and rice porridge—prepared using recipes passed down from shrine attendants. The hotel also hosts private washi paper lantern workshops, where guests craft personalized prayer lanterns as keepsakes.

All experiences are included in HopeGoo’s exclusive package, highly recommended for early HopeGoo due to limited spots.
