【Alternative1】This itinerary is alternative to the original plan. The temple cafe “Shu’un” is only available for certain days every month, and thus we will only get there when they are available and the customers still want to go. Otherwise, we will stick with the original plan that we go to Hossawa falls after lunch instead. You will enjoy mocha with a Japanese sweets at “Shu’un”. The priest will talk about the historical background of temples and how people live with its beliefs and rituals at that time of period.

【Alternative1】The alternative plan, we will go there only when we decide to go to “Shu’un” the temple cafe.
