A Small Healing Inn by the Railway, Welcomed by a Calico Cat
Located just a short walk from Ioki Station, Ohenro House Mikene is a warm and welcoming inn created by renovating a 90-year-old traditional Japanese house. Accommodation is mainly offered in dormitory-style rooms without meals, while convenient facilities such as Wi-Fi, a washing machine, and a microwave make it a comfortable stop for long-distance travelers.
Around the seawall near the station and along the surrounding roads, a beloved local calico cat has long been a source of comfort for walking pilgrims. When setting off the next morning, the cat may even walk alongside you as if guiding the way, bringing a smile to your face.
After a peaceful night of rest and relaxation, you may find yourself thinking, “I can keep walking a little farther.” This small inn has just that kind of gentle and encouraging charm.
