Widely known as a pilgrim-friendly inn, Miyoshi Ryokan is often praised for its unique atmosphere: “Staying in this historical wooden building felt like stepping back into the Meiji era.” Guests highlight the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms, saying, “The Japanese-style room was spotless and the view of the old streets from the veranda was soothing.” Meals, typically featuring simmered local fish, are described as “filling and heartfelt,” with appreciation for the hostess’s attentiveness. The availability of laundry machines also earns praise from weary travelers. While a few mention that “some facilities are older,” most agree it causes no inconvenience. Overall, the inn is celebrated as “a place of quiet reassurance, perfect for restoring body and mind.”
This inn was originally a three-story wooden building built during the Meiji period, but was renovated into a two-story inn.
★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars)
In the Meiji era, before the development of transportation networks, this town was known as akawaminato,'' and the road in front of the inn is asphalt, but the width is the same as before. There are many old buildings in the surrounding area, and when I walked to this inn, I felt like I had traveled back in time and became a Meiji traveler. It was heaven for me, who likes old, rustic, and beautiful Japanese-style inns. A washing machine and dryer are both located on the premises. The dryer is coin-operated for a fee. Dinner was boiled fish, which was delicious and filling. I was grateful for my wife's consideration. When I said,I like old inns,” she said, “I like pilgrims who say that.”
