A comforting Japanese inn wrapped in the warmth of a port town
Nestled in the charming coastal town of Minami, Tokushima, Koyo-so Minshuku offers a tranquil base for pilgrims and travelers alike. Located just 5 minutes by car from Yakuoji Temple (No. 23 on the Shikoku Pilgrimage) and a 5-minute walk from Ohama Beach, known for loggerhead turtle nesting, the inn blends simplicity with heartfelt hospitality.The inn features 17 traditional Japanese-style rooms equipped with TV, tea sets, and individual climate control. Guests can enjoy shared facilities including a banquet hall, conference room, vending machines, and a small mahjong room. Free rentals of shogi, go, and mahjong games provide a touch of fun on rainy days or peaceful nights.
Access is convenient: a 15-minute walk from JR Hiwasa Station and parking for 20 cars makes it a safe choice for car pilgrims. Though modest in luxury, Koyo-so offers a sense of calm and familiarity that blends seamlessly into the townscape—providing a comforting space to rest and quietly prepare for the next day’s journey.

The low price is one of its most appealing features—“the second cheapest inn in the area,” as one guest noted. Despite the affordability, guests frequently praised the peaceful atmosphere and good sleep quality. Rooms are retro-style tatami rooms, with some appreciating their spaciousness after long motorcycle tours.Some mention the building’s aging condition and minor issues like poorly fitting windows. There are also calls for better meals and cleaning, but these are generally framed as minor trade-offs for the cost. Overall, the inn is viewed as a reliable budget stay offering satisfying comfort even without meals.
