A Retro-Modern Stay by the Station, Immersed in Showa Nostalgia and Railway Charm
Located just a one-minute walk from Awa-Ikeda Station, “4S STAY Awa-Ikeda Ekimae” is a modern guesthouse operated by JR Shikoku, created by renovating former sushi and kimono shops into a stylish machiya-style inn. Inside, retro railway-inspired touches—such as lighting fixtures and chairs made from repurposed train parts—evoke the nostalgia of the Showa era while offering modern comfort. Guest rooms are clean and functional, equipped with free Wi-Fi and safety boxes, and an unmanned check-in system ensures smooth, worry-free arrivals. On the first floor, “heso salon” serves as a café and restaurant that highlights local ingredients, naturally connecting travelers to the community. It’s a cozy lodging where convenience meets a gentle sense of nostalgia—like coming home to the town itself.
