Kitsuki is a quiet castle town that retains the atmosphere of the Edo period throughout the city. The Guesthouse RETURN(利他庵)is located near this castle town. Please enjoy walking around the city. ☆The Kunisaki Peninsula in spring is very peaceful with rape blossoms blooming everywhere, so we recommend taking a leisurely drive without worrying about the time. ★For guests staying at Guest House RERURN or ONE WORLD on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, we will guide you through Kitsuki Castle, the Castle Town Museum, and the Ohara Residence in the morning of the following day. There is no guide fee, but you need to purchase a ticket (1,000 yen) that includes a meal coupon worth 500 yen and entrance fees for the three facilities. If you wish to do so, please let us know at the time of booking.
In order to let many people in the world know about the beautiful castle town Kitsuki, my wife and I have opened this guesthouse RETURN(利他庵). When I have time to spare, I would like to guide you around the city of Kitsuki.
The Tenjin Festival, with a 300-year tradition, is on July 24th and 25th. In addition, please come to sea bathing in summer because there is a beautiful beach nearby. It is also recommended to walk around the town on a quiet night. The atmosphere of the castle town is strongly felt and it is very romantic. It is a recommended date course because it is safe.
