Myojinkan – Expo 2025: Live to Travel, Travel to Live

Myojinkan

Nestled in the land that is said to be part of the Japanese mythological "Ama-no-Iwato Legend," Myojinkan is a mystical inn home to three dragon deities who safeguard both gods and human beings. Nearby, the expansive Myojin-daira is believed to be the landing spot for divine beings tasked with protecting the mythical "hidden door" of the Iwato Legend. Today, Myojinkan offers a haven where visitors can enjoy the luxury of "doing nothing” and is recognized as a place to rejuvenate the mind and body in healing baths. Indulge in tranquility and wellness at this doorway to relaxation.
