Greetings from the owner
Greetings from the ownerYou can stay in a building of pure Japanese architecture.
The sea is in front of you, and it is about a 30-minute walk from #36 Shoryu-ji Temple.
We mainly stay without meals, and we can also pick you up at the restaurant according to your request. (There is a convenience store nearby, 2-3 minutes by car / about 15 minutes on foot)
There is also a boarding point for the cruise ship (charged) nearby (approximately 20 minutes on foot). This cruise ship is said to be a remnant of the ferry when Kobo Daishi (Kukai) founded Seiryu-ji Temple. It is a perfect place to stay if you are going on the same route as Kobo Daishi (Kukai).

Numerous guests express gratitude for the warm-hearted owner, saying: “I stayed during my walking pilgrimage, and the owner was really friendly and kind,” and “They helped me with luggage delivery and even gave me a ride to the ferry terminal the next day—it was incredibly helpful.” The scenic ocean view and close access to Seiryu-ji make this a “perfect spot for pilgrimage,” according to reviews.
Some guests note that since no meals are provided, it’s necessary to prepare food in advance, but this practical detail is easily outweighed by the hospitality and convenience. Overall, it is widely appreciated as a thoughtful, well-located, and memorable guesthouse.
I stayed one night on the walking pilgrimage.
The owner is very friendly.
They came to Kochiya in front of Sekkei-ji the night before to pick up my luggage (consultation required) and sent it to the boarding area the next day. It was a great service for walking pilgrims. It is an inn that I would like to stay next time.
I used it on a walking pilgrimage. It is convenient because it is close to the #36 Shoryu-ji Temple. The next day, I was told that they would take me to the boarding point for the cruise ship, but I wanted to walk across the big bridge, so I declined. The owner, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. The sea is right in front of you, so it’s a nice view.
★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars)
You can stay in a pure Japanese house. It’s close to Seiryuji Temple, so you can make an effective pilgrimage depending on your time allocation. Dinner and breakfast are not provided, so you will need to purchase them in advance at a nearby convenience store. If you call the owner and talk to him, you can get some good ideas!
