A Homely Lodge Wrapped in Rice Balls Beside the Bus Stop
Minshuku Yoshimoto stands right in front of a bus stop in Ainan Town, close to the pilgrimage trail, offering gentle comfort for those weary from travel. The highlight is the dinner—generous and flavorful home-cooked meals prepared by the host mother, which warmly embrace tired bodies and hearts. In the morning, guests receive rice balls as an “osettai” (a traditional act of kindness to pilgrims), a small but heartfelt gesture that brings joy. The inn offers simple yet sufficient comforts such as clean Japanese-style rooms, air conditioning, and yukata robes. The motherly host speaks openly and kindly, making guests feel at ease without pressure—an atmosphere that quietly restores those on foot with genuine warmth.
