The inn’s signature “silky soft” water, often referred to as “bijin no yu” (beautifying waters), receives high praise. Guests particularly enjoy the jet baths, waterfall showers, and outdoor tubs, commenting that the water feels effective for relieving chronic pain. Locals also frequent the baths, reflecting their quality. Rooms—both Japanese and Western style—are noted for their cleanliness and peaceful views of rice fields or the Shikoku Mountains. Guests describe the atmosphere as relaxing and scenic. The inn includes a restaurant, gift shop, and a charming koi pond garden, making it a well-rounded destination. Pilgrims appreciate its convenient location near sacred sites, often using it as a stop before or after their visits. A few modest critiques include “the broth in the tai chazuke breakfast was a little strong” or minor concerns about staff attentiveness, but overall, reviewers consistently describe it as “a healing inn offering a complete experience—hot springs, dining, scenery, and convenience.”
I used it when going to the Yuunami rest area route of No.60 Yokomine-ji.
★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars)
It seems to be a popular inn, and it seems that reservations cannot be taken during consecutive holidays.
You can relax in the hot springs in the large bathtub, so I think it’s the perfect inn for the challenge of visiting Yokomine-ji the next day.
Depending on the price, the food is sumptuous and delicious.
We stayed at the cheapest plan, but the meal was delicious.
★★★★ (4 out of 5 stars)
The sea bream chazuke for breakfast was especially good.
The hot spring was also a good hot water with a trolley.
It takes about 2 hours to Rest hut “Yuunami” .
