Review Summary from External Sites
Guests frequently praise the cuisine: “I stayed here during my pilgrimage and the fresh sushi from the adjoining kappo-style restaurant was exactly what I needed to recharge.” The quality of the food, reflecting the ryokan’s culinary expertise, consistently receives high marks. Some reviews mention that “shared bathrooms and the lack of an in-room refrigerator feel less convenient in terms of cost performance,” but for those prioritizing an exceptional dining experience, these are minor drawbacks. Additional feedback highlights pet-friendly policies—“small animals are welcome”—and the ability to savor Seto Inland Sea seafood served privately in-room, enhancing the sense of comfort and hospitality.

I used it on my pilgrimage. I was taken care of with half board. The owner of this inn is a sushi restaurant, so the food was very delicious. I got the energy to do my best for the rest of the way to the end. thank you very much.
I stayed here based on the reviews I read. The rate was 8,500 yen with two meals included, but the toilet and bath were shared, and there was no refrigerator. From a cost-performance perspective, it was somewhat disappointing.
If you’re walking the Shikoku Pilgrimage and looking for a place to stay between Takamatsu and Shido, this may well be the best choice.
The dining room is a traditional tatami room, but chairs suitable for tatami floors have been provided for pilgrims who, after many days of walking, can no longer comfortably sit in seiza or cross-legged positions. There are also Western-style toilets available on the second floor.
The proprietress efficiently coordinated the bath schedule for guests, which made the stay very comfortable.
Including two meals, use of the washing machine, and dryer, the total cost was ¥9,000.
These days, even a room-only stay at a business hotel in Takamatsu can easily cost around ¥8,000. Considering that this includes two delicious meals, I found the price very reasonable.
It may even be worth considering taking the train from Takamatsu to stay here for the night and then returning to Takamatsu by train the following morning.
