A simple healing inn by the tracks, where a calico cat welcomes you
Just steps from Iyo-Ioki Station, “Ohenro House Mikene” is a lovingly renovated 90-year-old traditional house that radiates warmth, as if it were part of the local neighborhood. It mainly offers dormitory-style stays without meals, but is well-equipped with Wi-Fi, a washing machine, a microwave, and other daily necessities. The seawall in front of the station—and a calico cat who has lived in this area for over 80 years—quietly offer a sense of comfort to walking pilgrims. As you continue toward Godaisan Temple or Dainichiji, the cat may walk along like a guide, bringing a smile to your face. Let your body rest for a quiet night, and you may find yourself thinking, “I want to keep walking”—that’s the kind of quiet strength this warm little inn holds.
