Shrines and Buddhist Temples Noh Stages
An'yoji Haguro Shrine
An'yoji's Haguro Shrine is said to be a shrine to where the god divided from Haguro Shrine, in Yamagata Prefecture, was invited and re-enshrined in 772. It is surrounded by gigantic cedar trees, and the main hall lies in harmony with the surrounding lush woods. Since olden days, in the small village of An'yoji, Noh has been offered in place of Ondeko (deity mask dance) in the annual, most important festival. The Noh stage (a Niigata Prefectural Tangible Cultural Asset), with its thatched, hipped-roof, is reputed to have been built in the late Edo Period (19th century). It used to stand across the front path from the main building of the shrine, but around 1909, it was relocated to, and enlarged, on the site where it now lies. The Noh stage at Haguro Shrine is the smallest in Sado, among the ones still in existence.

Minshuku (Japanese-style Bed and Breakfast)
Minshuku Tokaen

The accommodation is situated along Osado Skyline, which leads to Hakuundai viewing point from Route 350. It has a spacious parking area that can accommodate more than 10 cars. Tokaen provides delicious Sado-produced seafood and the riches of the soil, and is fastidious about using safe, organic seasoning. They offer meals with brown rice and can accommodate your needs such as food allergies (reservation required). Minshuku Tokaen is a family-run, cosy accommodation, and is among TripAdvisor's recommendations.
