Guests praise the ryokan’s convenient location and its proximity to pilgrimage sites and food options, noting, “Great for pilgrims, with a built-in udon shop that solves dinner concerns.” The spacious rooms, homey bath, and clean interiors are appreciated as “comforts not found in chain hotels.” The quiet setting also offers a chance to unwind, and many say the kind and attentive staff helped ease their first pilgrimage experience. Some gently mention, “Bring your own breakfast,” and “No convenience stores nearby,” but overall, it’s well received as a warm and practical place to stay for pilgrims and business travelers alike.
I used it on the first day. I was still unaccustomed to the tension and tired legs, but the spacious bath was soothing. In the morning, we had a delicious meal while talking with other pilgrims in the attached dining room. I thought about where to stay, but there were many signs along the way, so I called and made a reservation, thinking it must be famous. The staff at the inn are polite and kind, and I can recommend this inn.
“The bath starts at 5pm.” etc
