Greetings from the owner
Greetings from the ownerIt is popular for being able to sleep soundly on a semi-double futon in a tatami room.
It is an old Japanese-style house with a tiled roof, built 55 years ago.
Located near the Shikoku 88 Pilgrimage Route (halfway point between temples 59 and 60), you can spend a relaxing and quiet time while enjoying the changing seasons of Mt. Ishizuchi and the mountain range.
