A Message from the Host
This is a small family run guest house.
I am also doing a walking pilgrimage with my elementary school son.
If you stay at Wakabaya, you’ll be one step closer to “Kechigan”!
We can advise you on the itinerary from here to Okubo-ji Temple, introduce you to accommodation, and provide information on transportation to “Koyasan”.
The nearby “Udon Baka Ichidai” opens at 6:00 every morning. Strengthen your strength with morning udon and head to Yashima-ji Temple!
