Located in a quiet residential area of Shikokuchūō City, “Zenkon-yado Kūkai” is a free lodging offered with a spirit of hospitality to walking pilgrims on the Shikoku pilgrimage route. The interior is clean and calming, providing a comfortable place to rest and recover from a long day’s journey.

The toilet and bath are very clean. Drinks in the refrigerator are also free. Free socks are also provided. Oosaki-san’s Hanare is Zenkonyado. Reservations are necessary because there are times when I’m out.
