A Restful Stop with Cooking and Garden Time
Nestled between Temple No. 20, Tairyu-ji, and Temple No. 19, Tatsue-ji, “Kichinyado Otsuru” warmly welcomes walking pilgrims with a tranquil retreat. With just two Japanese-style rooms, the atmosphere offers a calm exclusivity. Essentials like Wi-Fi, free laundry and dryer facilities, and parking for two cars provide a solid foundation of comfort. A self-catering breakfast—complete with bread, butter, jam, and vegetable dressing—is included, adding a thoughtful touch of flexibility. In the garden, guests can use BBQ equipment (charcoal available for a fee), and in certain seasons, enjoy ayu fishing experiences, bringing in the charm of the journey. A handwritten message from the host, declaring “We support pilgrims,” resonates with heartfelt warmth, making this a stay to remember.
