The inn is highly praised for its convenient location and thoughtful services tailored to pilgrims, including free laundry, Wi-Fi, shared fridge, and bicycle rentals. Many say the homemade meals were delicious and filling, and they felt recharged. The rice ball “osettai” provided at checkout is appreciated as a meaningful touch. Though the building is older, the cleanliness and the warm reception make it a relaxing and dependable inn for walkers.
We stayed on the second day of the pilgrimage.
★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars)
When I decided to walk to Kamoshima to do some shopping, they kindly lent me a bicycle.
The food was home-cooked and had a lot of items to fill me up.
The people at the inn were all nice people with smiles, and I enjoyed talking with them.
Be sure to come here in front of Shosan-ji Temple! I recommend it as much as I can say.
It is an inn in a good location near Fujii-dera, where you can challenge the climb to Shosan-ji Temple the next day from early in the morning. I was welcomed by the owner’s warm hospitality, and I was able to ask a lot of information about the pilgrimage ahead. I still have good memories of eating rice balls at Ryusuian on the way.
★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars)
It is an inn that takes care of pilgrims. It is also the best location for heading to the pilgrimage the next day, and it is understandable that it is very popular.

I stayed here on the second day of my pilgrimage. I arrived early at around 2pm after visiting Fujidera, but they were happy to check me in. They also helped me with advice on the route I would be walking the next day.
★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars)
They lent me a bicycle, so I went around the supermarket and took a bath after 3pm. As others have said, dinner started at 5:30pm and was very satisfying with the Tokushima home cooking, which was hearty and rich in protein.
After dinner, I took a second bath, did some laundry (100 yen for the washing machine, 200 yen for the dryer), went to bed, ate at 6am the next morning, and checked out at around 6:50am. (Because it was winter and the sunrise was around 7:10am)
If you want, they will prepare a rice ball lunch for you for 300 yen.
I passed Fujidera around 7am and arrived at Shosan-ji just before 11am. Despite my legs being worn out, I managed to get over the mountain pass and made it to Dainichi-ji just in time for 4:30pm. Thank you very much.
