It is conveniently located for visiting Dainichi-ji. There is a natural hot spring nearby that can be used free of charge. The room was large and the bed was comfortable and refreshing.
I forgot my sweater, which I had been using as a loungewear, at the hotel, so when I called, they kindly mailed it to my house.
I stayed here during one of my short walking pilgrimage trips, completing the Shikoku Pilgrimage little by little. This is a hotel that truly respects pilgrims. When I arrived and started to ask at the front desk about my pilgrim’s walking staff, the staff member immediately said, “Yes, of course,” and brought me a bucket of water and a clean towel to wipe it down. It’s no wonder, considering the many osamefuda (pilgrim name slips), including prestigious brocade ones, displayed on the wall behind the reception desk.
The area around the front desk feels a little cluttered, but the guest room was spacious, thoroughly cleaned, and had a large, comfortable bed. I was able to relax in the adjoining hot spring facility and get a really good rest.
We booked a plan that included both dinner and breakfast, but a room-only or breakfast-only plan might be a better choice. My wife and I were the only guests dining at the hotel’s restaurant that evening. The food was delicious and the portions were generous, but if you have the time and energy, eating out is certainly another good option. There is also a yakiniku restaurant on the premises.
Temple 28, Dainichiji, is just over 2 km away, and a Tosaden Kotsu bus stop is located right next to the hotel, making it convenient for traveling toward Kochi City or Cape Muroto.
The rates are higher than those of traditional minshuku or pilgrim inns, but I think walking pilgrims deserve to treat themselves to a comfortable bed and a relaxing hot spring every now and then.
