A Small Farmhouse Stay with the Warmth of Hinoki at the Foot of Mt. Yokomine
At the foot of the 60th temple, Yokomine-ji, the “Guesthouse 60BASE” guesthouse opened in June 2024 as a cozy, all-hinoki farmhouse inn. With only two guest rooms, it offers homestyle meals prepared with homegrown vegetables and homemade miso. You’ll find laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, and secure indoor bike storage, plus three free parking spaces — thoughtful touches that walking pilgrims will appreciate. The owners, themselves experienced pilgrims, welcome guests with the heartfelt desire to “give back,” creating a space where the warmth of hinoki wood seems to dissolve tension. It’s an ideal place for anyone wanting a quiet night to steady their breath before continuing the journey.

During my sixth section pilgrimage last month, walking from Imabari to Sakaide, I stayed at this guesthouse.
As accommodation options in this area are limited, and considering its excellent location as a base for visiting Temple No. 60, Yokomine-ji, I chose this place without hesitation.
Upon arrival, I was first impressed by the beautifully renovated traditional house, with dining and water facilities thoughtfully adapted for guesthouse use. However, that was only the beginning. While checking in, I noticed a menu placed on the registration table and was surprised once again, wondering whether this was really a guesthouse.
The owners explained that they grow many of the vegetables used in their meals themselves. After enjoying a bath, dinner began, and I was treated to a recommended local sake from Saijo. The dishes listed on the menu were then served one by one. Hot dishes arrived hot, cold dishes remained cold, and each course was presented with an explanation from the hosts.
Every dish prepared by the couple was delicious and generously portioned. By the time the final sea bream rice was served, I was so full that I could barely finish it. The level of service rivaled that of a stylish restaurant in the city or even the business class service on an international flight. It was truly outstanding.
The next day, I planned to visit Yokomine-ji and needed to arrive at a hotel near Saijo Station by 5:00 p.m., so I had arranged an early departure and stayed without breakfast. However, I would have loved to try their breakfast as well.
This is a highly recommended place to stay, not only for pilgrims but for any traveler. If you stay here, I would strongly recommend booking the two-meal plan rather than room-only accommodation.
There were four of us staying, so we had the place to ourselves. The guesthouse has only two guest rooms and appears to accommodate a maximum of six guests. I am certain that as its reputation grows, reservations will become increasingly difficult to secure.
