★★★★ (4 out of 5 stars)
When I was on the Shikoku pilgrimage, the proprietress told me that I had a home to return to, so I could come back whenever I felt sick. At that time, I was severely depressed. I was hoping something would change on the pilgrimage.
★★★★★ (5 out of 5 stars)
At that time, the owner of the first inn, “Michishirube,” gave me heartwarming words.
Thanks to that, I was able to successfully complete KECHIHGAN and convey my gratitude and gratitude.
I am full of gratitude to the owner who values meeting people. Thank you very much.
