A Historic Inn of Tranquility, with Private Hot Springs and Seafood Delights
Just a short walk from the Dōgo Onsen Honkan, Ryokan Tokiwaso is a charming small-scale hot spring inn nestled in a lovingly preserved wooden building from the Taishō era. With only 4 to 5 guest rooms, it offers a peaceful atmosphere perfect for pilgrims seeking rest. The inn features a private, natural hot spring bath sourced from the same waters as Dōgo Onsen Honkan—an indulgent and relaxing experience. Meals are served in-room, featuring beautifully presented kaiseki dishes made with fresh Seto Inland Sea seafood selected by the innkeeper, who is also a fisherman. While the building shows its age, it is well-maintained and spotlessly clean, blending Taishō elegance with Shōwa-era warmth. This quiet haven invites guests to pause, reflect, and softly find the strength to continue their journey.
