The mother of Mt.Hodo at Nagatoro


This old lady age at 78 is the owner of the gift shop and guarding the Hodo Shrine over 40 years. She is always playing the “SAMISEN” of the traditional Japanese instrument for many years. Especially the foreign visitors are enjoying with her playing the Japanese folk song.

Even at the age, she has been driving a small Jeep to the top of Mountain. You should visit her when you go to the Shrine. She is serving the cold drink and the Japanese hotchpotch in the winter. She knows everything about the mountain and I can call her mother of Mt.Hodo.
