A Restful Haven Between Mountains and Sea, Welcoming Weary Pilgrims
After a long hiatus, Marutaya Ryokan has reopened in March 2025 as Minshuku Marutaya, offering a serene resting place midway between the 23rd temple, Yakuoji, and the 24th temple, Hotsumisaki-ji, along the Shikoku Pilgrimage route. With just five traditional Japanese-style rooms, the inn provides an intimate and homey atmosphere. Guests are treated to wholesome, homemade meals and the warm hospitality of the host couple, creating a natural sense of relaxation and ease. Practical touches, such as free laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, and a refreshment lounge, make it especially reassuring for long-distance travelers. Whether stopping for a brief respite or preparing to set out anew, this cozy haven quietly restores your strength for the journey ahead.
