A Humble Inn Just Steps from Emmeiji Temple, Embracing Local Hospitality
Located in Horie, Matsuyama City—just a short walk from the 53rd temple, Emmeiji—Minshuku Saichi offers pilgrims a simple yet soul-soothing stopover. The guesthouse, centered around a no-frills, lodging-only model, welcomes guests with a warmth that feels like returning to grandma’s home. The nearby Horie Beach is another quiet attraction, where pilgrims can pause to feel the sea breeze and sense the changing seasons. Modest yet nostalgic, this inn gently reassures you: “It’s okay to keep going”—making it a kind and comforting presence along the pilgrimage path.
