A Welcoming Inn by Daihō-ji Temple with a Kind Host and Homemade Meals
Nestled just beside Temple 44, Daihō-ji of the Shikoku Pilgrimage, Minshuku Ichirigi offers walkers a comforting place that truly feels like “coming home.” The friendly and easygoing host warmly welcomes guests, helping them unwind naturally after a long day on the trail. Uniquely for a guesthouse, its chilled ramen (“hiyashi chūka”) is a surprising favorite—so much so that many travelers say they want to return just to eat it again. While the inn mainly operates on a no-meals basis, guests are welcome to bring food from a nearby convenience store, a flexibility that supports relaxed, everyday-style travel. The spacious common areas also make it an excellent choice for groups, offering a warm, unhurried space where both body and mind can truly rest.
