Mihonoseki is a port town that is home to Miho Shrine. It had flourished as the port of call for cargo ships during the Edo period and the vestiges of that era can still be seen in the many buildings that remain. In a bid to utilize vacant property, the Mihonoseki Revitalization Council has renovated a former residence that used to be a boathouse into "Hashizuya," a facility that offers accommodation services. This facility not only offers lodging for a single night, but long-term accommodation as well. Artists and foreign tourists have also stayed here. As it faces the port, you can fish in the sea right before your eyes, take a walk around town, or use Mihonoseki as a base to tour Matsue City, visit the Izumo Taisha shrine, or cross the Sakaisuido Bridge to visit the neighboring Tottori prefecture.
