Tōno Sōbō Hatto is a Zen-style inn nestled behind the shrine’s forest path, accessible via a 4-minute stone trail. Featuring hinoki wood interiors and private onsen baths, it offers daily limited-access "Shrine Purification Rituals"—early-morning ceremonies led by a Shinto priest, including handmade omamori crafting. The on-site restaurant serves local specialties like Chosŏn doujō stew and mountain vegetable tempura. Reserve via HopeGoo to receive a shrine annual pass and rare manuscript guidebook.
Guests at Tsushima Shrine-adjacent Sōbō lodgings can participate in the "Morning Light Ceremony," a pre-dawn purification ritual held at the main shrine hall, followed by lessons on playing traditional kagura flutes made from bamboo. Monthly "Ancient Manuscript Night" events allow guests to copy excerpts from Edo-era Tōno Fudoki manuscripts under candlelight, guided by local historians. All activities are included in the stay.
