A Hidden Retreat Wrapped in the Warmth of Tea and Gardens
Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Tamagawa, Imabari, this small inn embodies the spirit of its name, “Tea Cozy,” the fabric cover placed over a teapot to keep tea warm. Just as its name suggests, the inn cherishes moments of unhurried conversation and gentle relaxation.
Surrounded by seasonal flowers and greenery, guests can enjoy beautifully tended gardens and experience a lifestyle that lives in harmony with nature. Located between Temple No. 57, Eifuku-ji, and Temple No. 58, Senyū-ji, the inn also offers practical amenities for long-distance travelers, including laundry facilities, a kitchen, and transportation assistance.
Far from the rush of everyday life, this is a place where guests can quietly restore both body and mind, preparing themselves for the next step of their journey.
