A Nostalgic Night in a Renovated Showa-Era Wooden House Near Yakuō-ji
Located along the old pilgrimage road right by the 23rd temple, Yakuō-ji, “B&B m4” is a cozy, breakfast-inclusive inn converted from a renovated Showa-era wooden house. Just a 5-minute walk from Ohama Beach—famous for sea turtles laying eggs—it offers a nostalgic atmosphere wrapped in the charm of a traditional fishing village. Guests can enjoy a simple yet hearty breakfast of homemade bread, coffee, eggs, and salad before setting out on the next leg of their journey. With one Japanese-style room and one semi-Western room, both featuring classic tatami flooring and soft futons, the inn provides a restful night’s sleep. Amenities include free parking, Wi-Fi, a washer-dryer, and rental bicycles, making it a reliable retreat for pilgrims preparing for their “restart night.”

A Message from the Host
In 2020, I moved to Minami-cho and opened a simple lodging house. It is a nostalgic building where the fittings of the Showa era remain. I would appreciate it if you could stay as if you were visiting your grandma’s house or a relative’s house.
Only breakfast is served. We can accommodate early morning departures.
I would like to cherish the relationship!

Although it is an old private house, the plumbing and rooms have been completely renovated, making it as comfortable as a new building.
Anyway, it was clean and felt good. In particular, the beauty around the water stood out more than anywhere else. It’s limited to just one group, so make your reservations early. The owner was also a nice person.
I stayed here during my walking pilgrimage. This beautifully renovated traditional house made me feel as if I were staying in a nostalgic “Showa-era home.” As others have mentioned, the cleanliness of the bathroom and water facilities is particularly noteworthy. Sleeping in a bed was truly comfortable and helped relieve the fatigue in my lower back, shoulders, and entire body after long days of walking.
Breakfast was simple—ham and eggs, salad, toast, and coffee—but satisfying, and I could even have more toast, allowing me to set off fully energized.
The inn is run by the proprietress alone, and due to the size of the facility, it can accommodate about two guests comfortably (up to three if two people share the twin room). On the day I stayed, she was deeply concerned about a foreign guest who had not yet arrived and even went out to look for them. She also worried about pilgrims who set out in heavy rain, showing her warm and caring nature.
I was told that the inn was not originally opened specifically as a pilgrimage lodging, but now it has become an important stop along the pilgrimage route. I would love to visit again if I have the chance and sincerely hope it will continue operating for many years to come.
